I'm scared and don't know what to do

Um, so, I have been writing a story were the main character is gay. And just today my homophobic mom read the first chapter. She had to go somewhere and told me we'll talk about it later. I know she'll take every device I have. My sister says my mom will probably tell my dad. And that really scares me. He's never been nice or fatherly to me or anyone. And he's a lot more mean them my mom. I don't know what to do. I'm just waiting here for my punishment. They'll be here in 30min. I really wish I wasn't so careless.Β

Hey there, you’re not at fault here! It’s other peoples attitudes that need to change.

What happened when your mom came home?

Nothing. She didn't say anything. I think waiting for her to say something is worse then getting a punishment.Β

Yes, it just leaves it hanging in the air.

Could you raise it with her?

No, I'm too scared to bring it up.

Maybe your mom is trying to ignore that she made a mistake like that, did she find the story or did you show it to her?

She found it.

Great, now my dad found it. So I put it in my folder for my stories. Now everyone knows not to open the folder and read it and if they don't know it says on the folder "don't read private." Yesterday the folder went missing and I found it in the reading room my dad always uses at night. I was 90% sure he read it until today. He went to my room and asked how my stories were doing. I already thought of the possibility that he just wanted to know how they were doing. But it can't be a coincidence that the folder goes missing at night then found where he reads at night then the next day he asks about my stories. He is the only one who never knew I supported LGBTQ+. And he too isn't saying anything about it.

Hey,

It's interesting that he hasn't said anything about it; what do you think that means?Β

Do you think he might be okay with it? Also, I saw what you said about him being mean; can you tell me more about that?Β

Absolutely not, he's the most homophobic person in my family. Well, he used to always yell and say really mean things to us. And pick fights with my mom. He doesn't do it as much now but he still scares me.

I'm sorry to hear that he still scares you; what is it like for you, living with someone you're scared with?Β

It's fine he's not here a lot cause of work, but when he is I just avoid him.

Hey,

Yeah, it must be really strange for you having to avoid him to reduce the fear. Home should be a place where we feel comfortable and secure, and not having that can be pretty unsettling for anyone which is a completely valid and normal response.Β 

I'm wondering, has he said anything yet?

No. I don't think he will cause my mom hasn't said anything either. It's really confusing me.

I don't know, I hope so.

I think the best thing now might be to just go with the flow and see if it comes up; what do you think?Β
