but . bots don ' t feel stress . <| sep |> Wow , I think I was in your exact situation several years ago . Except I wasn ' t able to accept my sexuality for what it was until much later . Regardless , I knew I wasn ' t validated for who I was while I was still home . My Dad had a stake calling , and expectations for me were super high . Everyone else focused on financial , housing , and job preparation in the meantime . Just being busy with making all of the preparations and other things will help time pass more quickly . But let me offer one additional suggestion . I know you feel total invalidation from your parents right now . It totally sucks . But one thing that I wished that I had done more was just appreciate the good things about my parents , and focus on those good attributes while you are still living with them . It may not be easy , I know , but hear me out . I am sure they are good people , in spite of the obvious conflicts . But , appreciating the love they have for you , and taking advantage of the opportunities to cultivate that love with some great , last memories before you leave , I think will yield countless benefits for you later on . Additionally , it will make it easier for them to accept you for YOU later on . Don ' t make it all miserable until school is over . It ' s hard , but find the good things . It ' s only a few months , like you said .
