The level of empathy the last woman has. The way she just soaked herself with what the actor was supposed to be bottling up.

[livia-ssi]

when that women who cried was explaining why she had to intervene made me so sad. she has such a point. some families don’t even have the choice to have a good bond and be a family. and the fact that they’re just throwing that away is so heartbreaking.

I'm an Asian, a christian, and I'm bisexual and this just hits home. The 1st time I came out to my parents, it was very hard for me. My whole family was very religious. I felt scared and ashamed. There was a point in my life where I even despised myself and was utterly disgusted by myself for being like this. But I just couldn't. It was who I was and god knows how much I already tried changing that part of me which obviously didn't work. So I was thankful to my friends especially my childhood best friend who lives in an another country. I was devastated during those years, it felt like I couldn't reach to anyone. I wanted to die, but then I thought, "God gave me this life to see the beauty in life and the world. Why would I waste it? He gave me this life, so I should cherish it. I should prove to him that I was worth being born" and then I prayed to God. 1st, I thanked him for the life his given me. 2nd, I asked him for forgiveness that I turned out like this and forgiveness for the constant suicidal thoughts that kept on running through my mind. 3rd, I also asked that he forgives my parents for their hurtful words, not to me but towards the other people who's also currently struggling this issue that I was also facing. And lastly, I asked for guidance, for a sign. And boom. That's when my childhood best friend called me for a vc. When I told her my situation, the 1st thing she did was congratulate me for being brave and for taking the risk of coming out to her. She was happy that I finally found one of the pieces within me. I was so touched. She was the best friend slash sister I've ever had in my entire life. She's straight and she also came from a family like mine; Asian, christian and very religious but she was still there for me and she gave me advices. She never stopped loving me as a best friend, a sister and almost as a twin. She also risked herself talking to my parents regarding this issue. So as time went by, my family gradually but finally accepted me. Although some of them still don't fully support me yet at least they were civil and getting there. My mom, she was the best. She was the first to comfort me after their talk with my best friend. And then there goes dad. But the best of all was my grandma. Before my parents finally accepted me and before my friend talked to them, my friend actually consulted my grandma first if it was okay for her to confront my parents. And we were so shocked at what my grandma did. She actually hugged me and said sorry for how my parents were acting. She was sorry for the times she never knew what I was going through, but most of all she was sorry that I've gone through those days where I hated myself. She was the best. Now, my parents fully accept me. Heck my dad even hides money from my mom just to give me extra allowance for dates (well that was before pandemic) anyway, I love them. Especially my best friend and grandma. But even though if they still didn't accept me, I don't think I ever hated them one bit. I mean, I know where they were coming from. I know how hurt they must've felt when I outed myself. I understand them and I'd still love them no matter their harsh remarks because they were my parents. They gave birth to me. They're the reason why I'm alive and seeing the world right now.... Parents may come out tough at times, they may become passive aggressive towards you for how many years but no parents don't love their kids. All parents love us and I know for a fact, that one day, they'll forgive you. It may take the longest time, but trust me they will. The point is, they're mad because they know how society is like and they just don't want their child to experience being criticised and mocked and harassed by others. They're afraid for us. So I understand them. Just give them time, and show them that you being gay or bisexual or pan or trans doesn't change who you are as a person and as their child. That no matter your gender, you're still that same kid that they raised and that you being like that doesn't make you less of a person. Rather, it makes you a better version of yourself❤️
