>>14655390>At this point, they could be happy just loving and accepting you for being you.well youre a little happy go lucky. i grew up in a paleoconservative household. my parents donated to focus on the family when i was young. i remember hearing the word sodomite in church when i was like 11 or 12 and feeling a sense of fear sitting in my seat, like i was being called out, when at that time i hadnt even thought of anal sex, i just knew that was the word for a man who liked men in the way most men like women. they wont be accepting my sexuality unless they change religions.
i have an older 'save the earth' half sister who claims she doesnt want children, and two younger brothers. only my sister has moved out, bc she lives with a guy whos nearly 40. im sure my mother will get the grandchildren she so desires, but that doesnt change the fact that i remember well how i was treated during my teen years and i dont have much desire to make my parents a part of my life in the future.
>>14655434folks are wired differently i suppose? i hear stories like this and dont know what to think about myself. on the one hand my parents never did anything heinous or truly evil towards me. but they also never put much an effort into knowing me, my interests, my wants and wishes. i felt in my teen years, and still, a crushing loneliness and my parents were never there for me during the worst parts of my life so far. i wish my father all the best, but i dont want to talk to him bc we dont share any interests and having a conversation with him is like pulling teeth. my mother is a bitch who i have long believed hates me for not being the son she wanted. had these feelings since my early teen years, resentment towards them since 16.
