I’m angry because there is nothing I can do to help you. All I can do is pay the scandalous tier, because I think that you would get the most money out of my monthly donation. If we were in the same area you could move in with me, come and go as you please. I don’t need to control you, you need support from me. You’re not a freeloader and next time he throws buckets of guilt at you ask him what if it was him that had broken a C-1 how would he feel. You have your income, I’m sure he hates this Patreon because your able to be independent! If you’re anywhere near Utah let me know. Your entire situation infuriates me! I hope to hear you sing soon, when you get a normalized life again. I don’t pity you. I almost lost the use of my legs when I was 13. They removed a tumor on my spinal cord at the L-5. They told me as I was going down to surgery that they might have to cut my spinal cord. I often reflect what my life would have been like in a wheelchair. I admire your courage not feel pity in any way !

How an idependently minded female aware of her own sexuality deals with Christian fundamental belief intruding into her life is incredbly tricky. There's a Youtube and an Instagram called 'cultstoconsciousness' which involves stories, mostly of females, who have come through the same issues. There is probably another psychological issue in that parents often retain the 'adult to child' approach rather than 'adult to adult' way of working. I think you articulated the situation very well. Nothing you talked of is extreme. You are entitled to your own sexuality and your own journey. And if you wish to have a 'special friend' that's absolutely your choice. Christian fundamentalism has problems with sex. Whereas the rest of society understand that intimacy is important and vital for human beings. But, as you say, you live with your parents. At some point, you will have to decide. Do you fit in with your parents until you leave or do you tell your parents that whilst they are entitled to their religion, you are entitled to your way of thinking? The freedoms which grant their rights to independent worship are precisely those which allow you to make your life decisions. Neither path is easy. i think, that you have chosen to share your thoughts with the wider community, means you have made your mind up. Courage, therefore. And thank you for your integrity. Andy
