Then finally they told me to move back in and that they don't care who I bring home.
So the other day my dad said in front of his friend that he found me a girlfriend.
And I said "ok but I will cheat on her with a man" and an awkward silence was created and I walked out of the room.
Anybody else have parents who just ignore you?
The next thing he'll be saying is he's arranged the wedding... :frown:
Sorry to hear your parents aren't supportive. I think you might challenge your dad to think about what it is that, in his opinion, your being gay reflects upon him? Is he one of those fathers who see in their children an extension of themselves? And if so why does he think that you are not a separate individual and identity? I think he's got to rethink his place in the family and to rethink his son as NOT himself, but someone else, even though he's physically an extension of himself. And so I'm thinking maybe you should move out again???
