I've had feelings for women for as long as I can remember and been told by my mother since birth I need a man to make me happy, which I evidently disagree with. I was raised in an African and conservative, religious household but I'm not religious myself. My siblings mock me about all my flaws and my other relatives hate us so I dunno who to talk to about this. My feelings for women are so clear and strong but at the same time I'm feeling so guilty about it that I dunno what to do and it's confusing me. I need to know if anyone out there's going or been through this and tell me how they dealt with it. Thanks.
