Okay, the depression has taken full hold on me now, and I'm back on the anti-depressants. Not that they do much except wrap my emotions in cotton wool. Not that that is a bad thing.....
If they stop the crying jags and bouts of lonelyness.
Well, enough time, patience, and application of 2x4's across the heads of my family seems to have finally gotten them to realize that hey, I'm not gay after all. Which means I'm now seeing the major homophobia infesting my family which they were too polite to show when they thought I was gay. (Shakes head.) Every single one of my brothers got harrassed in school by people who thought they were gay. *I* got harrassed by people who thought I was, (yet another reason I wish Santana High School would burn to the ground.) I've always been secure enough in my sexuality that those taunts never bothered me. My brothers, on the other hand, seem to have decided to blame gays and lesbians for their abuse. A blame the victim mentality?
Then again, I've never seen the point to harassing people because they choose to love people of their own gender. A button I have sums it up - "Straight, but not Narrow".
Talked briefly with the other person Monday. She's still recovering from the creeping crud. (sigh)
