My dad.

Discussion in 'Coming Out Stories' started by illwakeupalone, Mar 18, 2011.

  1. I heard from my dad about the letter* finally. He told me that he doesn't want me to think that they are ignoring the letter or that they don't love me, but he needs some time to digest the information. I hope that's a good sign. :slight_smile: Just thought I would give you guys an update.

    If you want to read the letter, it is posted in my blog.*

    Well that's good to hear. I'm glad your father is letting himself come to terms with it.

    Hope everything goes well with your family in the end.

    I'm happy for you! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:, it looks like they are willing to accept you for your sexuality :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    I wish you all the best!

    I think that's definitely a good sign. You might want to point him at PFLAG as a resource for families--let him know that he can ask you any questions he has, but if he feels more comfortable talking to someone else first, he can get support at PFLAG.

    It seems like he knows he needs to accept it, but that he might be having a hard time doing so. PFLAG can help him with that.

    This really sounds good. Congratulations :slight_smile:

    As mentioned maybe the PFLAG info could be good for them.

    It is encouraging that he doesn't want you stressing or feeling rejected while he takes the time he needs to process :slight_smile:
    Happy for you <3

  11. I think I am going to wait and talk to them more in depth when I am home in the next 2 months. I think they will have had time to let it settle and be ready to talk about it by then. Thanks for the link Eleanor. :slight_smile: Much love and appreciation to you all.
