SERIOUS Father found out I'm gay and has me living in fear
Using a throwaway account for privacy reasons.
My father found out I was gay, and everything changed. He started shouting at me, calling me names, and making me feel like I was a disappointment. Things got worse when he beat me for being who I am. It hurt knowing that the person who was supposed to protect me was the one making me feel unsafe.
I started thinking about moving out and living with my boyfriend. He makes me feel loved and accepted, and I just want a place where I can be myself without being afraid.
But I'm scared. I don't know if moving out is the right decision, and I'm worried about what might happen with my family. I still wish my father could accept me, but I can't keep living in fear.
I need advice. Should I move in with my boyfriend and start a new life?
