It took me until just before my 27th birthday in November to realize I’m a lesbian. I’m stuck in a financially controlling relationship with a man, using my pets as a crutch to get through the day. I would go to a shelter if I didn’t have them.
I’m so angry at myself. I listen to Chappell in the shower and scream-cry the words. I’m so jealous but so happy for her.
I feel like a bird in a cage.

@nervouspixiefawn I'm so sorry to hear this. I get how trapped you must feel, I haven't been in this situation myself but I met several women who have, and it makes you feel like there is and never will be a way out. But sometimes the way out is just hard to see and even harder to take, but still it's there.
If you're in an abusive relationship, you can still seek support from domestic abuse help centers. They might be able to arrange or help you find a housing solution for you that works for your pets as well, and they can help you with psychological, legal and maybe even financial support. Whatever support you can get is both helpful and well deserved, because no one should ever go through this. LGBT centers might also help and you can find a community to have your back.
I wish you all the luck and happiness life can bring.
