Soror Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Don't quote My kid was outed to another kid. It's only a matter of time before it spreads with who was told. Best friend knows but not their parents. They only partly accept their own gay kid (don't know how else to explain that). As it is we've been half way on the outs for a few years because we're not conservative enough. My kid is rightly worried they are losing their friend of 6 years and who knows what else will happen. I will protect them as best I can but I can't control others. I'm afraid it's about to get very ugly and I'm going to lose it if people hurt my kid. 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Blue Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I’m sorry, Soror. Set the good example. Take the high road. Your child will benefit from that. If not today, then in the future. This sounds very hard. 😞 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'm so sorry! I hope it turns out better than you hope! We have some family who don't officially know about our dd, and I wonder how it will be when they find out. We don't have to be around them much, so that will help. If they suspect it, they haven't asked us. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSera Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I’m sorry. I naively thought this wasn’t an issue amongst kids anymore in the US, only among a segment of very conservative adults. I hope it turns out to not be received negatively by anyone and you can all breathe a sigh of relief and move on.

Friend has known and been supportive BUT that only goes so far if the parent controls every aspect of their life and doesn't allow contact (which I expect to happen) and friend was fretting to my kid if her crush finds out she has a gay friend she won't be able to see him again. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Sending hugs. Many hugs. My heart hurts for you. This happened to us when Kid was 14. It was a bumpy ride but we came out of it stronger and happier. Hoping that you are pleasantly surprised, and sending support and hugs either way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
