OKAY so there’s a lot to unpack here.

This summer, I texted a crisis hotline because my dad was really upset at me and was constantly verbally abusing me and being more violent than usual, and the counselor filed a report. Apparently hitting children? Completely legal in New York. Weird, right?

Anyway, he was kind of hurt that I indirectly reported him and now he won’t talk to me. Which I don’t have a problem with, because this was the final straw. I mean, he’s homophobic, and I’m bisexual, for one. He verbally abuses me all the time. How can I put up with him? BUT Elsie Fest is coming up, which is a Broadway music festival in Central Park. I really want to go this year because Starkid is performing there (first time since 2015) and it might be my only chance to see them live, ever. So I asked my mom if I could go, and she said probably not, because of the tension in the house and how the family’s falling apart, she doesn’t feel like going anywhere. Of course that made me feel guilty. But I’m not talking to him until he talks to me. I hate dilemmas.
