Dad Disowning His Gay Son

[StanTheMan]

This doesn't surprise me at all. Some parents are around for their kids only when they do stuff "right". And to choose what's "right", it's only up to them.

First thing I would have done was to reply to Dad and just say: Dear Dad, FUUK YOU! Then just move on with my life and never look back. It had to have hurt tremendously but in the long run I am sure it has made him a stronger person, makes me wonder if he ever had any kind of love for his son at all.

Omfg! How can a adult, i mean a dad , can't have the courage to phone to set up a "dad-son" meeting at least. Disgusting persons ...:mad:

Ouch :/

I can't put into words about how upset that makes me.

How could you say such things to your child. How horrible to learn your father never loved you. My sympathy to the recipient of that letter

Hey Pell, for me it was 23 years ago, but My parents disowned me, went so far as to ask me to legally change my surname which, after all foe crap they put me through, I did.

The only reason they can raise you and not know is because they don't want to see it, refuse to admit to themselves that you are not the boy they thought they were raising.

Yes it hurts terribly and, it's one of the hardest pills you will ever have to swallow in life. but it is does not have to devastate you entirely. Get through this, get your head back on straight and smile proudly when you say "I am a complete man in and of myself, I do not need anyone. I will chose whom I want in my life."

It took me a while but, I made it and, trust me on this, family does not have to be blood. Any old sperm donor and egg producer can be a father and a mother, that sure doesn't make them a Dad and a Mom. I have a great family now, people I "adopted" or who "adopted" me because we love each other as family, and treat each other like family. So we aren't blood, or even legally related in any way, we are still family.

((Family hug)) you look like you need one

I am so glad you have found a family who loves you, you, not who they want you to be. Storys like yours break my heart. I can't imagine the pain you felt.

Don't let my past break your heart. I came through it stronger, unafraid to be honest with myself and the world about being gay, and simply being myself. In a nutshell, the best lesson it taught me is that I am a great guy to know and, if you chose not to be my friend, it's your loss, not mine and, there are a whole lot of great people in this world that do accept others for simply being themselves.
