    ok, so..I came out to my parents and family and friends. My friends are totally cool with it, and so is the rest of my family. However, there just not communicating with me at all. They won't listen or barely talk to me. They act like things are ok, but they're not. I think I need professional help. I don't know any other people like me, and I need someone who I can talk to.

    I just don't know what to do..should I confront them? Should I just keep looking online? I don't know, but I'm so depressed. That's not all the problem, but I have to go cause my parents will be come in..

    It's called withdrawl...they're in shock...they love you and are probably going to be ok with this, but it's going to take some time. If they haven't freaked out or if they said "it's ok you're gay", then don't be too worried about this distancing feeling. It could be temporary it took a couple of months for my parents too come out of that same stage. I believe there's a thread on this...one of the mods posted it as a sticky somewhere. About what to expect when you come out to parents....ehh, some help Paul/Dave/TriBi?

    **EDIT**

    Oops nvm found it....maybe these might help

    Yep, most parents go through the stages of death when their sons or daughters come out.

    Denial
    Anger
    Depression
    Acceptance

    I swear i'm missing one.
