Holey heck lost! I can relate so much right now!! Especially after having my parents here just now. I won't go into it but yes, it is so sad when they make racist and homophobic comments. I have to commend you for standing up to them though!! That is something I can't seem to do. I usually just get scared and so on edge I have to bite my tongue and try focus on something else which I know isn't good and I should put them in their place but yeah, it scares me. So I am so proud of you for standing up!! I think that is awesome!! I'm sorry your dad backed her up, that can also be so hard when they both feel the same. Sometimes I do wonder if it's because they have reached that age where they are so set in their ways? Idk. If you wanna talk about it or have any tips on how to raise the conversation with your parents and like put them in their place I'd LOVE to hear them! 😂 Maybe we should start a new thread.. 'putting our uneducated parents back in their box' 😂😂😂 Sorry. This is just SOOOO relatable right now and just quietly, I am slightly relieved my parents aren't the only ones! I'm really sorry you had to go through that because it can be such an unpleasant thing to hear and experience but honestly, I am SO PROUD of you for speaking up!! I wish I had your courage!! Did you feel like you were able to get through to them at all?
Also, I just wanted to check in to see how you're doing today? I can imagine talking to both your psychologist and psychiatrist in the same day would have been so emotionally exhausting so I hope you were able to do something nice and relaxing for yourself after it all!! 💙
