My worst fears were realized

[Axellance]

My dad and step-mom found out about my orientation and I haven't spoke to my father even on the phone in almost six months... Just the occasional text after a string of hurtful emails phone calls and texts. What hurts the most is not being able to see or talk to any of my half brothers or sisters :(

Awww hun :hug:
Some people will judge you and hurt you over the stupidest things, and this is only going to make you stronger. Just remember that now anyone who is homophobic towards you can only be as bad as your family is, so it won't hurt you as much.
I know it sucks, but they'll just have to learn to deal.

Time might make them understand. If not just make anew family of close friends

I just don't understand why some people have to be homophobes. It's not like I have some contagious disease. And I'm not out on some wild crusade to convert other boys to play for my team.

Hating is hating; there's no way to sugar coat this. I'm glad my parents taught me better.

OMG, I am so sorry, *huggles*

If you need anything please, I am here to talk...just give them some time, that is all I can say because there is nothing I can suggest other than time...maybe they will come to their senses and realize how they have wronged you.

Have you talked to anyone, a school counselor perhaps? They would be the best bet.

Just remember, this is a community, we are here to support one another and always here to help, no matter what.

[Smeagol]

I am so sorry that this happened to you! :hug: if you ever want to talk, we're all here!

[Fourth Dimension]

im sorry to hear about this i wish all the best for you

[PerpetualMotionSquad]

Awh that's pretty bad I think the same will happen to me with my dad that's y I'm coming out when I leave home. I feel for ya buddy

[Stronger]

I am so sorry to hear that, but as what Robert said, give them sometime to accept and think about it. But maybe talking to someone could help you, and if they contiune to ignore you then go to him, and have a long talk with him in person. Again, we are all here for you if you need it.

[Lyra Heartstrings]

Damn, that blows pretty hard. Homophobia is stupid. We aren't walking AIDS viruses..we won't kill you. We are people, too. Give it time. It will pass. If it doesn't..well..try to reconnect with your half brothers/sisters, and stay away from parents.

All that I know is that many people are that way and Dads are more like that cause they cant conceive a thought like that in their mind. What I think you need to do is wait a while and start making simple conversations with them via email/ texts and avoid talking about anything orientation related. Eventually invite them to be with you and a current boyfriend and show them how it is not wrong. You two together need to act like you normally would but a little less affection. This should teach them that you really have love for him. Keep doing little gatherings like that until all of the tension is gone and that y'all as a family can be together with out the homophobic stress...

:hugging:
Pm me if necessary.

[djcard]

I'm so sorry that happened *hug* I hope it all works out for you, i really do

Living in the south, I hear often hear stories about families disowning kids for their sexuality, and it truthfully disgusts me. Give your family time to adjust. It sometimes takes longer for some people to accept it. If they can't accept you for who you are, then they have lost an extremely important person. Just know that no matter what, there will always be people who support you and are here for you to talk with.

:'( i'm sorry to hear that, but i'm here if you need me, they're your family and like everyone said time will heal everything, if not we can be your new family
