❤️🩹- TW: mentions of homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic and racist behaviour
i think my mum’s new boyfriend is absolutely horrible. He makes constant “jokes” that are homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic and racist, makes fun of any and all minorities, and uses constant slurs. the worst part is that my mum is not only validating but supporting him. it’s gotten so bad that my little brothers, both under the age of 13, adress our black cat with a slur i’m sure you can imagine. it makes me so mad. like i know he can’t get into my head with that BS but he’s gotten into the ehad of the ones I love and it’s disgusting to see this behaviour from them. i’m starting to grow to despise them and leaving my room and it’s so annoying. like my situation isn’t that bad or anything, like others have it worse, but it’s just so frustrating, especially as a person who is a part of multiple minorities
" My my.. How dreadful. Well, this man you are talking of, sounds utterly repugnant and disgusting to my senses. It's very good that you my dear, know that he is wrong! But have you talked to your mother yet, or have you done so already but to no avail? "
mod : it's true that there are people who have worse problems, but that doesn't mean that your experience isn't valid or worth addressing. when you are a part of various minorities, the world can feel like a very hostile place, especially when the people you love and trust are also making you feel unsafe.
i think the first thing you need to do is recognize that this situation isn't your fault. you can't control your mother's new boyfriend, your brothers, or anyone else's behaviour. you can't control how the people around you treat you.
if you haven't already, it might be helpful to sit down with your mother and have a conversation where you tell her how you are feeling. explain that you don't feel safe or comfortable around her boyfriend due to his behaviour, and that you're worried about the impact it's having on the people you care about. and even if it doesn't work out, know that i am proud of you for trying. and remember that this is out of your control so it was and never will be your fault. <333
