If you haven't noticed my activity nearly a month after I left, I have been staying in the fandom without my parents' knowledge. I think I'm just going to retreat to the forest again and become a true "closet fur" until I move out. I will not be able to do anything with the fandom in real life, but I'll stay active here. Who knows, maybe I'll find another fur around where I live and maybe I could use that as a way to reintroduce the fandom to my parents, but I'm skeptical that I ever will. To be honest, I almost don't want to have my parents knowing about it. I saw the way they were interacting with me when I told them and I don't want to deal with that kind of awkwardness. It almost seemed like I walked up to them and said I like porn and have played with myself in every room of the house and raped the family dog. Right now they think that I completely left all together and that I permanently locked my account and had it deleted, so I'm just going to keep quiet about it again.
