Okay, normally I don’t ask for help, but this shit’s really urgent.
For those of you who don’t know me, hello. I’m Elliot, a seventeen year old trans boy from Idaho. I’m the youngest of two kids, and I’m just your average trans highschooler with a flair for writing.
However, my mother isn’t supportive. At all.
I’ve lived in an extremely abusive household my whole life.
My father was verbally, emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive my whole life. When I was outed to as not straight to him the summer before high school started, he didn’t take it too well-
IE, he beat me. He died shortly after my Freshman year of high school started, and me, thinking I was safe to come out as FTM trans, came out to my mother in my sophomore year, thinking she would be more accepting.
Needless to say, that was the wrong choice.
However, we have come a long way in terms of understanding. She was using correct pronouns, all that-
Until she dropped the bomb today that she was putting me in therapy to “set my head straight.”
IE, the closest thing to conversion therapy she can get.
See, Mom thinks I’m a “trauma induced” transgender because I came out after my dad’s death, and no matter how many times I try to tell her that no, I came out after he died so I wouldn’t be murdered, she just won’t listen.
So, needless to say, I’m scared shitless and I don’t have anywhere else in town that I can go, and I’m scared to start this therapy because I have another half of a year before I turn 18 and move out.
When I graduate high school, I plan to move to my boyfriend’s @turntxchgxdhead place in Michigan.
That being said, I need money for a plane ticket and rent shit for an apartment.
And I can’t work, because I’m not allowed to.
I’m Literally not allowed to get a job, because I’m taking care of my abuser- which, I should mention is dying of stage 3 c melanoma, and getting a job would mean being unable to do shit for her.
I know this sounds callous, but I’m so scared to start conversion therapy and I don’t have anywhere where I can go. If I just up and leave she’ll report me as a runaway or my boyfriend as a kidnapper, so I have to wait until I’m 18. Every cent would mean so much to me.
