Inspirations from Bianah:
My heart goes out to you in your time of need. I can see your pain and why hate would creep so easily into your life. My first piece of advice is to try to understand the culture which you are now a part of. You don’t have to accept it, but the hate comes not from what is happening to you, but from not understanding why. To eliminate the hate, you must find understanding. Those that choose to live in that world do so because they feel it is what is best for them and their families.
The hardest part of your question is how to get away from what you have described as a culture that does not allow you to be free. Though I cannot answer that, I can tell you that you should not push away your family and friends. Again, find acceptance that this is a way of life that works for them. From there, they can find acceptance that this same lifestyle does not work for you and will help you find a way out. It may seem simple to think that by accepting them they will accept you, but that is the basis of radical forgiveness. It is when you open yourself up to them with loving arms that they can understand the pain that living there is causing you and will want to see you happy, therefore helping you move to a new country.
You must stand up tall and live your life to the best of your abilities. No government, religion or other person can take away what lies within you. You are strong and powerful, a god-in-training, and you will find a way to create a better life for yourself. Feel confident that the answer lies within you. Release the hate and you will find the doors of opportunity open once again. Namaste
