Being Treated for Depression

Okay, so I'm being treated for depression. I'll be 26 on Dec. 8, am still alone, no boyfriend, no prospects, and my mother has disowned me. I got a call from my brother tonight telling me he just got off the phone with our mother. This is basically what happened.
Hello? Hey Clint it's your brother Chris. "Hey, how are you?" I'm..... well.... concerned. "About what?" Well I just got off the phone with mom and she told me something about you that I'm... well honestly upset about. "What's that Chris?" (but as soon as I said that I knew what he was talking about) Clint, mom told me you're gay. Is that true? ........ (long pause) Yes Chris. I'm gay. "WHY?!?!?!?!?! he said. Well, Chris, this is who I am. I knew you weren't going to like it so I wasn't going to say anything to you about it.
chris- Well, I just don't know what to say Clint. I'm really disappointed in you. Mamaw would be too and you KNOW IT. I was MAAAAD!!!! I was like Chris, don't EVEN bring her into this. I told her before she died and she told me even though she had known, she was glad I was happy. ...... another long pause Clint, I just can't believe this. I'm sorry but..... Rinda and I have talked it over and..... well...., Clint you're not welcome at our house anymore. Don't bother calling us, coming by, don't send cards, buy birthday or Christmas presents. You lied to us and we feel our children don't need to be around you." I was like Chris, if they're not around me, they'll be around Kelly at Christmas and she's a lesbian... and what about all the other gays and lesbians in the world? HUH? Are you going to try to shelter them for the rest of your life? Chris, it's just part of life. I didn't choose this. I didn't choose to live a life where I have to watch my back because people like you are so uncomfortable that you'd rather us fall off the earth than to have us live with you, breath the same air. What right do you have telling me about my happiness? I didn't choose to live a life where people hate me, call me names, and want to belittle me for the rest of my life. If we get off the phone and you still believe that you don't want me in your life. That's it. I'm gone. You don't have to think about me ever. But I will tell you this, I love you no matter what. And that's going to stay the same because we are family Chris. And no matter how much you hate me or disagree with me, just know I will always be there for my family. ........long pause..... I'm sorry Clint. Have a good night. Bye. (and we hung up) SOOOOO, the meds that I'm on won't allow me to get upset or cry because I'm in that middle ground, I'm not feeling anything. Oh well.....
