We aren't confused.
It's not a phase.
We weren't taught it.
We didn't "develop" it.
We weren't influenced into it.
It's not a choice.
It's not a trend.
It's not a decision.
We're not looking for attention.
We're not "trying to be different or special"
We're not rebelling.
We're, just, queer.
Parents, stop it. Stop quoting bible verses at us, this isn't a biblical issue, this is a worldly one. You have worldly children, this isn't heaven, and you're not helping make it any closer.
CHRISTIANS, STOP QUOTING THE BIBLE

: the worst trolls are two types; the atheistic reductionist materialists, they're Luciferian beyond belief (and every time I interview a scientist the Simpsons comic book guys come out from underneath their rocks and whine about how the fact that they are smart hasn't made them king of the world in their bitter and resentful troll demon... epithets), and the other ones are the Christian fundamentalists and like they're equally intolerable you know "Peterson's almost there!"
Lmao based !grillers Peterson hating the wingcucks of religion.

Edit: most of you figured it out anyway. It is Huntingtons.
I (28F) recently found out I have a serious hereditary illness that's going to screw up my life, and I am so mad I can barely type this out. It's a degenerative illness, no cure, nothing. My body's just gonna slowly get worse. And the kicker? My parents have known this could happen my whole life and never said a darn word.
This illness runs in my family. My dad's mom had it. His sister—my aunt—died from it a few years ago. I was living overseas when she passed, and my parents told me it was cancer. Cancer. They lied right to my face. It wasn't until I got diagnosed that they finally came clean and admitted she had the same illness I do. When I confronted them, my dad wouldn't even give me a straight answer. I asked if he had it too, and he dodged every single question, acting like I was overreacting.
My mom, on the other hand, tried to justify it by saying they didn't want me "living in fear." Are you kidding me? I could have been prepared! Instead, they chose to let me walk into this blind. And here's where it gets worse—I have a 2-year-old son. My child might have this, and they never told me I was at risk. I could've had him tested, made informed decisions, anything. But no, they took that from me, and now I live in constant fear for him too.
Then my mom had the nerve to ask me if I would have rather not been born than deal with this. Can you believe that? She turned it around on me, like I'm the monster for even thinking it. And you know what? Yes, I said it. Yes, I would rather not have been born than deal with this disease. They made a selfish choice, and now I'm paying for it. They knew the risks and did it anyway, for themselves. They wanted kids, and now I'm stuck with this. I called them selfish, and I meant every word.
Now, they're begging me not to tell my younger siblings. They don't know about this yet, haven't been tested, and my parents want to keep it that way. They're hoping they'll get lucky, but I'm not going to lie to them. I refuse to let them be blindsided like I was. They deserve to know the truth.
I've gone low contact with my parents. I can't stand to even think about them right now. My mom keeps trying to guilt-trip me, saying they were "just trying to protect me." Protect me from what? The truth? No, they weren't protecting me. They were protecting themselves, from the guilt of knowing they passed this on, and now they want me to protect them too. But I won't. I love my son and my siblings too much to lie to them.
AITA for going LC and refusing to keep their secret, even though they claim they were just trying to "protect" me?
