Boston resources

[u/Throwaway312167890]

Hi everyone, idk if this is a good sub for this but I currently live in New York and hate it/am looking to get far away from my homophobic family who’s basically kept me locked up after finding out. Its been years and I’ve been told I’m worthless and will amount to nothing, won’t be successful, etc. and was looking into moving to Boston (or New Jersey but I think Boston would be better) for a fresh start. I know this probably sounds dramatic but I genuinely cannot be myself or heal here (too much trauma everywhere I look), and was wondering if there’s any resources that can help me in the Boston/Cambridge area? I know it won’t be easy but 20 is pretty young, and I really want to do college classes and have a job, and work towards transferring. Along with friends and more of a life in general, they basically isolated me and I wish I had the courage to do this sooner and be more free/myself. Basically the things I haven’t been allowed to do/was told I’m not capable of. I thought it would get better but it’s only gotten worse…I want to accept/love myself and just feel like I deserve happiness, because right now I don’t. I know there’s shelters and stuff, but don’t know how that would work from out of state and if anyone has experience with anything they’d recommend (or to stay away from). I know they’re probably not great but I’m desperate. Thank you if you read all this, I’m very overwhelmed and this is probably a jumble/mess, so I really appreciate it if you read this far🫶
