    I'm sorry to hear it went so badly. (*hug*)

    The important thing now is do you have somewhere to life? I assume you are OK staying with your aunt for a while at least?

    Unless your dad is threatening to destroy your stuff unless it is collected immediately, it may be worth giving him a week or two to see if he calms down a bit. since you are out of the state, it is reasonable that it will take some time to arrange anyway (especially if you need to get time off school/work or rent a van). It's probably also worth taking a couple of friends with you so that he is less likely to make a scene. Though of course if he does want to have a chat with you then your friends would need to leave the room but remain close enough to hear raised voices.

    It does sound like he is pretty well made his mind up and is unlikely to change his mind, but maybe when he has time to consider it a bit more he may realise he has been too hasty.

    Why the heck did your bf tell your dad? Did he think it would help your situation? Maybe in the long run it will be a good thing, but maybe not. Have you talked to him about what possesed him to call your dad?

    Although having college paid for by your parents would be nice, you should be able to get student loans and work to pay for it. That's how I paid for all of my education (5 years at the U of M) and I ended up paying the loans off within 5 years after graduating, so it is possible, but will take some fiscal discipline.

    I like Paul's advice about giving it some time before seeing your dad if that's possible. I hope he will come to his senses and realize that you are still his his son whom he should be thankful for.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish - your ex, that is. What goes around, comes around. He'll get his in the end. Too many cliches? Sorry. :wink:

    I, too, came from a military household. To compound things, I am in the service as well. Though not dependant on my family when I came out, he reacted about the same way. Over time the anger subsided, for, after all, I am his son. And that fact above all others was most important. I just happened to be gay.

    I hope things go well, or at least better than can be expected. Keep us up to speed.
