Hi, (almost) age 21, living at parents house. Live in USA.
Half writing this post to document, and half writing for advice.
Today my parents pretty much physically made me stop taking testosterone.
I started secretly taking HRT a month and a half ago (out of pocket at PP), and have had amazing quick results, but as a result of that my mom found out fast. I won't say I didn't expect a huge reaction, but I didn't expect it to go this far. I am aware starting T under unsupportive roofs is not recommended, so please don't lecture me about it. I do not regret anything.
I came out at 16, and have been questioning since 14, but was forced back into the closet and received a lot of trauma that I have been dealing with throughout the years. Since I have started the my nursing program and have been the most emotionally stable and sure of myself, i've really been pushing for my independence and deciding to stop compromising myself just for them.
About a week ago I started getting interrogated and not allowed to leave rooms when my mother was talking to me. I've tried getting through to her by explaining myself, but anything I say she will always warp into a negative light.
This morning, I was packing up to leave to study, and she started to talk to me again. I had decided the night before to just stop speaking during whole conversation.
She did not like this to say the least, and things quickly escalated. Started to yell, when and stole my spare car key, opening my car up (that is in MY name) and tampered with it so I couldn't leave, despite my yelling. I threatened to call the cops on her, but she continued anyway. She also stole my laptop and would not give it back to me at all.
I left the house and ran up our road to the fire station, but lucky for her nobody was there.
My dad came from work and they both drove up and down the street in their separate cars until they found me and cornered me to force me into their cars .
We have another hour long chat and it devolved into me giving up because they wouldn't give my shit back and wouldn't let me leave. They had been saying they would get my therapy, which I would be okay with, but wouldn't allow me to keep using T any way things go.
I said fine. I will stop taking it. They said I must give the T to them. I said no I don't trust you to not waste it.
I tried to ask them for $300 dollars as a trade, also declined.
Eventually we came on a compromise (FORCED mind you) that I would give it to their adult friend (that is on my side) to store.
Feel free to ask questions. Thank you
I am currently working on getting my own car insurance set up and then looking into apartments because this is insane. I was planning to move out this summer to avoid anything like this. I would love to keep the peace and not completely block off my family but......
Edit: I filled a report and got my stuff back. Looking at apartments now!
