It's your call whether you chose to live a charade for handouts from those who, face it, you think really do despise you for who you really are - a fact not changed in the least by your pretending to be something you are not, or see if you have the resource and resolve to make it without their handout, and who knows, maybe you will find out they may in fact accept you for who you are if you make it clear enough who you really are?
What do you mean "make it on your own"? I have three years left before I go to college. Hiding who I am from them doesn't change the fact that they despise me, but it does prevent them from being aggressive towards me and making my life worse. Do you not see the problem? You didn't answer what were your parents like when you were a teenager and what you believed. What do you suggest I or DJ do? Move out?
Finding out if they accept me? I have heard say hateful things that lead me to believe they wouldn't. It's not worth the risk.
It's sick to think that a parent would turn on their child because of that filthy cult.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
