I think one major hurdle you may need to overcome is probably moving out of home and becoming independent. You cannot grow and resolve your past (ie childhood/adolescence) until you are removed from that situation. You will then be able to take some responsibility for yourself and your emotions and work through your perspective of your relationship with your parents from your point of view and eventually from their point of view (which may take a lifetime of experience and a degree of maturity). Friends can be a great support, but you need to get to know the inner you and learn to rely on the power within yourself. As regards to your confusion about your sexuality ... DON'T PANIC. Take your time in discovering yourself from within and gently coax out your true leanings.
