    well, I have finally decided I will tell my foster family (very homophobic) that I am gay tomorrow. I have put it off for long enough.



    If I have not made a new thread/replied to this one by 5:00est tomorrow I have probably been kicked out of my home...

    If you have any advice, please leave it below

    love you all, Limoriden.

    Hey Limoriden! May not know you too well but just wanted to know how things went. I hope they didn't kick you out since you ain't even 18 yet. Sorry if I'm bothering you, just can't help making sure people are safe in these situations >_<

    Hi Limoriden. Hope it goes well. Have you looked any shelters or refuges you could go to if they do kick you out? Also, can they kick you out if there are fostering you, won't they have to work through social services (that's what were call them in the UK, don't know what the US service is called).

    Either, hope it goes well and you stay safe. Let us know when you can. Wishing you well.

    They are very intolerant of homosexuality. So yes, they will almost 100% kick me out. And also yes, they will have to answer to social services if the do. And If they get to violent/toss me to the curb, my friend said I could live with her.

    @Limoriden Ok, great. Glad you've got somewhere lined up to stay. It sounds like you are well prepared for what they will do. Hopefully, social services will put you in a more open minded foster family next. Fingers crossed for your coming out.

    -Update- @Barbatus @TheSideKick @Karin

    They did get pretty hostile when I did tell them, I was throw out because they said "It was a sin" and Now I am living with my friend and she is as shocked as I am. :grin: happy fun times all around.

    Thanks for your support :

    @Limoriden Sorry to hear they did that. At least you were prepared for it and your friend is being so good to let you stay. Do you know what happens now with social services?

    I was really hoping that your foster family wouldn't kick you out even if they made it clear how they felt but they obviously aren't thinking of you. Well done for telling them, that can't have been easy. If there's any advice you want let us know. Hope things got sorted out soon. Wishing you well.
