My parents and I have been having a huge fight since I moved out.<br><br>I am 16, and currently still in high school. I live with my 19 year old brother. I moved out on my own choice, and my brother took me in.<br><br>The reason I moved out is simple. I am bisexual, and my parents are radically against it. <br><br>I came out to my parents a year ago, and the reaction was to send me to a psychward to be cured. I was so depressed and suicidal, I tried to end my life a few times.<br><br>My brother saved me. He disowned our parents and took me in. <br><br>This cause a huge fight between my parents and brother. <br><br>Now I live with my brother. I am doing a lot better. I am doing well in school, and I am doing better mentally. I found a great therapist, who helped me a lot.<br><br>Last week I got a call from my parents. My dad told me that if I go to church with them, and get anointed by the priest, he will forgive me and let me come home. I refused. <br><br>He told me that I am the asshole for not listening to him, and that I am living in sin, and I am breaking my mother’s heart. <br><br>I hung up the phone and blocked their numbers. <br><br>I feel bad. I am just not going to go back to the way I was living.<br><br>AITA?
