I'm in therapy asking you to have a sleepover.

I was completely shut it down.

I mean, at the time as a kid, I wasn't understanding.

And I basically was like, you're racist to gay people.

That's

That made her so mad that that infuriated her, but it didn't change her stance.

She, she stuck to the guns, yelled at me in front of the therapist and we went home and that was it.

Wasn't allowed to speak on the girl, about the girl, to the girl or anything.

All of middle school.

So middle school ends and what made me decide to come out to her was her, my youngest sister's dad gets out of prison.

And the thing about that was when I came into the home, I came into an abusive home.

It wasn't like I was coming into even a single parent household.

I would have preferred that, but I'm coming into chaos.

And not only is it chaos, I'm watching the human being that I put on this high pedestal get choked out or get a knife pulled out on her.

But in turn, she's kind of doing the same thing to me.

So the whole situation just confused me.

But when he got out, I was triggered.

I found out in school, cried to my math teacher.

It was a whole thing.

I come home, she's on the couch and she just lets me know she can't explain it.
