I feel so strange asking for help, I usually walk through life by myself. But my life experiences have not given me any primers for helping my son in all aspects when he told me he is bi sexual. I want to keep him safe from ugly people, ugly world and ugly family members. He is still the same person, he is still my son, he is still himself. All of this is so new to me, I can't imagine how it is for my son. He is 25 and in his first male relationship.
Hi and welcome to EC Shell. Don't feel strange it's perfectly normal to ask for help. Your son is a grown up now so it's going to be hard to keep him from being hurt by stupid people but you're supporting him that all that matters.
Thanks for the welcome, I have just been looking for ways to educate myself so my son can have a variety of people to go for help if and when he wants it. Can't stop the mother thing
Hey Shell, It warms my heart so much to see that there are parents in this world supporting thei children no matter what sexually orientation the have. warm thoughts from denmark to you over at the states.
You're sounding like a very good mother =) It's very considerate of you to want to learn more. I'm sure you can help your son by just being there for him. Welcome!
Thank you Lex. ---------- Post added 21st Sep 2013 at 12:12 PM ---------- I am the terrible type of person that just has to learn everything I can about something new to me that I drive everyone crazy. It bothers me when I can't, but with my son asking me not to tell anyone until he decides who he wants to know is frustrating, because I want to share his happiness with everyone. So here I sit with feelings of my own. ---------- Post added 21st Sep 2013 at 12:15 PM ---------- Thank you Mysz, the post about learning was to be to you.
