Default Then world is shaking around me.

I came out to my dad yesterday and at first I thought it all went well. Except today he seems to have distanced himself from me and won't really talk to me. I can't tell if its me or something else that's bothering and he refuses to talk to me.

I'm starting to panic, what do I do?

Just give him some time. It is not easy for your dad what you told him. It took my dad a week before he would talk to me after I came out to him. And he and I are suppor close. So just give him some time and he will come around. And you should be super proud of yourself for coming out to him. You took a really big step in your life.

I second this. You needed some time to adjust before you came out, so he will need some time as well.

I agree that he probably just needs some time. I know many ECers have given their parents this PFLAG booklet, which might help as well. I think it's a really nice guide.
