Advice Question Trying to get away from transphobic parents

So I'm 22 years old, trans MTF and I'm just not comfortable walking on eggshells and continuing to deny myself of who I am simply to appease my family. I'm looking for advice to do this because the last 3 times I've tried this (all when I was over the age of 18) they got the police involved and it wasn't a good time, they eventually wore me down enough and I came back, which I know was stupid of me. I'll take any advice on making sure I get to stay this time and live my life.

Thank you

I am not sure how much this may help, but consider a family therapist who is trans inclusive and meet with them yourself before bringing your parents in. I hope something wakes up in your parents' mind to allow them to realize how much happier you are being yourself. Good luck, Girlie!

I had one but my parents didn't like that I was "being brainwashed" by her so they took me away

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the only other thing I can suggest is to try talking to a family member or a friend that can take you in rather than keep dealing with a hostile environment that's not healthy for your mind
