Conversion therapy and coercion in the contemporary south

[MutantAndProud]

2. I have done this

Minus the weaponry, I have no firearms or training. I had a friend who seemed willing to rescue me if necessary (technically I am not facing physical abuse, merely extreme manipulation right now) but some of these resources may have been enough to corrupt him as well, which is what I find more worrisome.

When there is money involved, lures to suck away precious financial resources (ex-roommate pretended not to be able to afford rent alone but later offered to arrange for a rented house when I ‘cooperated’), and extreme monitoring plus a small or nonexistent social circle (I was disabled and in bad physical shape before that encounter on that app so I simply had very few friends)… things stack up.

I need to set out and get some local LGBTQ support/friends in the near future, but I have noticed ‘pop ups’ that are somehow fully aware of my situation regardless of where I turn. I get cult vibes.
