Life,
If only I was told how life gets harder as you grow older I would have enjoyed being a kid more, but I guess that is what most people say. I'm not say being a child was easy, but still I wish some days we had a reset button. To just go back and change just one thing in your life..... would be so great. I guess that is how you grow though, right? Finally came out to my parents and they freaked out, my mom cried and my dad just left the house. They kicked me out, and I was living with some friends. My brother is letting me stay with him now while I finish College, so its not all bad. Life is just hard some times. I do feel better that I told them.
you kids are wringing my heart ...I'm gonna go play piobaireachd
I like this blog a lot, thanks for posting this. My mother cried when she first found I was gay, I told her I was bi but really wasn't much attracted to women. I was 18 at that time she warned me my father wouldn't approve and as result I never mentioned it again until I was 52 and I told my father who I'm quite sure was aware by that time. My mother never said a thing though I could tell she wasn't supportive of the idea. My father however surprised me by accepting it as being my choice of lifestyle. I wasn't happy with that and had a deep discussion with him about it (I had never felt so uncomfortable talking to my father before in my life) He believed I could change if I wanted to and I told him I had tried to change I wanted nothing more then to be straight (being straight would make my lifestyle acceptable everywhere) I dated beautiful women all my life and it never worked out why I asked him as I'm a good person and not bad looking and the women were all beautiful both inside and out. He had no answers. It was at that time he did his own research into lgbt and one day a few months later said to me he understands now that I am gay and not by choice. I had never felt more relieved in my life. My mother won't discuss the matter but accepts me as I am. I only wished I had come-out earlier not at 18 he wasn't likely ready to deal with it at tat time but I think in my 30s he would have done the research at that time and would have come up with the same results but we can never go back and so I don't waste time on what ifs and am quite happy with my life today...
