I'm terrified of my parents now and how this ends.

I know deep down that the solution to all these purge cycles is to get used to wearing more often. But that's going to be very difficult.

I've been living at home this summer, and I know I should be happy. But I'm not. I still want to wear, and I want to accept myself for wanting to wear, but it's been incredibly difficult when I still live with my parents and am scared of being caught. My mother had apparently forgotten that I told her I wore; when she noticed how upset I seemed this morning, she asked what was wrong, and I had to explain it all over again. Not in graphic detail, just the facts of what I liked doing.

My mother said it was nothing to be ashamed of, but that she didn't want to see it. She wants me to be discreet. Crucially, she told me that she hadn't noticed me wearing so far, and that I'd taken out the trash appropriately. She doesn't want me to leave used diapers lying around, not that I've ever done that - I've been sufficiently discreet so far. Finally, although my mother said she doesn't want to think about her childrens' sex lives (understandable), she says she was more uncomfortable by how visibly miserable I was than this conversation.

I don't really know what this conversation changed relative to when I felt I was making progress the other day. I was already not leaving used diapers around the house. I was already not talking casually about it in front of mixed company. But somewhere in my mind, this conversation validated that being caught wearing would be terrible. I understand that some things are private but not things to be ashamed of, but when I hear the word private I feel like I need to go to extraordinary lengths to hide it.

As excited as I am to have a place of my own in 3 months, I do not want to wish my life away. I'm also starting to resent my family for being an obstacle to self-acceptance, even if they'd urge me not to see it that way. And that scares the hell out of me, because I see myself as a lowercase-fg family guy, and because they're good people. My mother doesn't understand it, but she doesn't have to. I just hate feeling like a prisoner in my own home.

I want to wear, I want to be comfortable wearing, and I want to not feel ashamed even if it's a very private thing. Today was a major setback in all three departments. Does anyone have any advice for me?
