“I’d rather have a dead daughter than a gay one” That’s what my ex’s mother said to her years ago, when we were 15. She kicked my ex out of home and threatened my life some time after. That’s also when my ex started doing drugs. Today the woman I loved when we were teenagers fell from the 9th floor of a building while high as a fucking kite. She was 24, a polyglot, taught English to native kids from poor communities in Brazil, was an animal lover vegan, a writer, and a proudly out bisexual woman. Ladies, take care of your lesbian and bisexual sisters. The lesbophobia perpetrated by families put many of us in terrible paths. I also notice that women addicts tend to lose their support net way quicker than males. And to all of the women struggling with addiction right now… Stay safe. I know there isn’t much I can say that hasn’t been said before, so that’s all I ask for. Reduce harm as much as you can. Quitting is not easy, I know, but you need to at least stay alive right now. Just fucking take care of yourselves. I love you all. Edit: I’d like to thank all of you for the kind words, but I don’t find myself able to answer individually right now. To make things clear, yes, we dated as teenagers, broke up when things got really hard, but never stopped being friends, sometimes lovers, y’all know how things go. We went totally different paths though, dated other women and men, fought and made peace with each other many times, but she would forever be my teenage sweetheart, the one I loved and cherished despite life putting us in different paths. And I still love her very much. It’s been 10 years of love and then friendship and we went through a lot together, I don’t think you can ever stop loving a person after how much we went through together. And believe me, despite her bad decisions, she was amazing, she was beautiful, she had the most contagious smile in this world, she was so genuine, had the sweetest drawly accent I’ve ever heard, and was just so smart, so painfully intelligent, and so full of life. Once again, I’m thankful for your kindness. Take care of yourselves and each other, life is just too fragile. www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/znwl5x/id_rather_have_a_dead_daughter_than_a_gay_one/source
