Came out to my dad

It will get better...it`s a shock to his system and to what he has always believed about you, (and about himself!)...just give him time...but make no compromises or deals to get him on your side, you are what you are and it will be his job to come to terms with it!

 

Me too. I think he is in the shock stage right now. Eventually he will actually spend some time thinking about it, and be better with the information.

 

Well i don't know what to say, my situation was horrible, specially with my dad. But it was the complete opposite reaction. My mom was the one who was angry, my dad was just sad. As soon as I told them he started to cry while my mom started asking the questions (shouting and acting as if i'd done something awful). It's only been like a year and a half and the subject only came up once again after the first time. Truth is i feel like they just needed more time to realize what it meant. My mom's not angry anymore, and my dad kinda acts as if nothing had happened, it's not the best situation, but it's better. Not sure if this helps but i hope you sort things out with him.

 

Let us know how it goes spyro.

 

Perhaps he was just overly emotional in the moment. It is scientifically proven that when the body goes to sleep, the brain conducts repairs of its synapses and undergoes organization of thoughts. Sleep is crucial in decision making. The phrase "Sleep on it" is pretty literal. Maybe after a day or two, he'll see things a bit clearer and with less raw emotion. If he loves you (most parents do) he will see that it isn't the only aspect of your personality. Your mum might soften him up a bit too. Definitely keep everyone updated. Best of luck!

 

Good luck, hope everything goes well for you! Just remember that it will take time for your fad to get used to. Be patient and things will get better. They always do!

 

This must be the shock phase. Hopefully he will be okay in the morning.

 

Congratulations on being so brave, we all know how hard it is
I am sorry that it did not go to plan, being a parent is unconditional, you cannot switch off your love for your children, you might not agree with them, but you brought them into this World & for better or worse, they are still your Kids, at least you know he is still there for you & given time, he may relax his new house rules (*hug*)

 

A bit hypocritical of him considering all those rules he set don't you think? You should really talk to him what this makes you feel. He is overreacting. Perhaps ask your mom to help you talk with him?

 

I think it went rather well!

As for your fathers new set of rules, well as a father myself I dont allow my sons private or unsupervised time with their girlfriends ( or any female) in my home. So your father is now probably looking at private time with both males and females in the same light. Dont be too hard on him, it could have turned. out worse.

Congratulations.

 

well i tend to go sleep at my friends' houses all the time, when i came out to my parents though they were reluctant to let me. after a few months i spoke with them and explained (being very calm while i did helped a lot) how any of my friends were a sexual attraction to me. i just told them that my friends were more like brothers to me and i promised them as i did myself when i realized i was bisexual, that i would never hit on any of my close friends. maybe give them some time but you can make them understand that there are friends and there are crushes and people you're attracted to, and those two are very different.
