Well, to show you where some parents' heads are,here's an excerpt form the last letter my ex mother sent to me.
"I'm sorry it had to come to this. I know that it is our fault that you lack the strength of conviction and faith to turn away form those abhorrent things. I should have insisted that your father punish you the first time you touched yourself and, every time thereafter with the belt rather than his hand. You would have remembered those lessons. We have failed you in that we chose to spare the rod as much as we could, we spoiled you.
(long ramble about the same thing)
Still, we cannot abide the sin of sodomy nor any other sin to be visited on this family. To avoid this, we ask that you legally adopt the French spelling of our surname as there are already other sodomites in that branch of the family. We also ask that you have no further contact with [name of my then 14 year old sister], your father or, myself. We cannot dictated [name of then 25 yr old sister]'s choice in this but, do not corrupt or defile her children as I know your kind is so want to do.
(More rambling about how I would molest children to make them gay)
[her given name] no longer your mother nor related in any way. We do not know you."
That's what religion does to a person and, an example of how a mother manages to blame herself and, decide she failed, then twist that into disgust, hatred and fear of her own child.
I hope no one else's mother ever takes it that far, but that's the extreme end of the mentality many of us have to deal with when it comes to our families.
