Well, I chickened out of my New Years Resolution last year and didn't end up coming out out of fear of being thrown out. But, between last month and February, I have a plan laid out: Next Monday-Pack things in case things go bad and come out to my mom Beginning of February (if things don't go bad with my mom)-Ask mom to tell dad (who has said many times how much he hates LGBT people) while I stand by the back door with my bags, ready to bolt if it goes down badly I don't expect things to go wrong with my mom. She seems okay with the idea of transgender people, she has a gay brother and loves him and I think she might already suspect it. So, I don't expect things to go wrong with her. With my Dad, I'm terrified. I don't know how it will go. If he doesn't change his mind on the issue when he finds out that his child is trans, then I expect either to be thrown out or abused and just running away out of my own free will. This is why I'm waiting until February with him. In the beginning of February, I get a refund from a computer I had to send back to the company transferred to my bank account. With that extra money, I'll have a better chance of surviving for longer (food, possibly able to rent a motel room for a bit) than I can now. So, I've plotted it out if it goes bad. If it goes bad, I'm going to run to the local Starbucks (I never go there, so they won't suspect it) to use the internet for a little while. From there, I'll get in contact with my friend that moved to London last year and see if there is any way I can stay with them. If I can, I can get to the airport no problem (unlimited transit pass that never expires) and I'll try and see if I can get someone to buy a ticket for me or something. That I might have to figure out on the go as I don't think you're allowed to buy a ticket for yourself at my age. If I can't stay with them or get there, I'd try to go to a shelter but I don't know of any in my area (or in my province, for that matter). The other thing is that I don't know how to come out to my Mom. It's going to seem out of nowhere no matter what but I want to try and do it with the best resources I can. Which means websites, PDFs, pamphlets, anything that might help her understand. If I can get her on my side, I feel I might have a better chance if I have to run away. Do you guys have any ideas? Reading back, I wonder if I sound paranoid but I just don't want to be thrown out and have no clue where to go and what to do.
