My Dad, my best friend

Adam,

Thanks for sharing your story. I was very touched, and teary. I realised how hard to tell your Dad the truth. I know I will have to face this situation when I come out to my parents. Not going to be easy, but not yet.
 
Adam

You words here in this thread have to be some of the most intense and emotion filled I have read in a long whille, thank you for bringing hope to my day.
 
Yours is an amazing story. It's all amazing, but the thing I come back to is the fact that you had an incredibly supportive family environment and yet society was able to create a negative self image that was more powerful than the love and safety of your family. There have been such strides in overcoming the image that being gay is wrong but our society still owes its children more.

Thank goodness your dad insisted in knowing what was wrong.

Cheers to you and your family.
 
Adam

I just printed off your post to put in my journal , your words have given me hope for tommorow. Thank You.
 
I just read your post, and I am still crying! Your dad is truly a great man. I believe he saved your life. Adam, you are a great man too for sharing your story with us. I believe if this story saves just one person from suicide, then you have done a great deed.
 
OMG, I don't hang around here often but I registered in June. Your story was very moving it even made me post! You made my eyes watery. I totally relate to your situation of not coming out before not so much because of your family, since you know they will be okay with it, but because you had not accepted it yourself.

I have not told my father because I have not seen him in a long time for other reasons but my syblings have all told me what I already knew; they love me and will always stand up for me no matter what. :P

My Dad is not going to be as supportive as yours but he will come to terms with it because he won't have any other choice, I know he loves me so much :P

Your father literately saved your life with his unconditional love and your story has given hope to more than one around here. Thanks for sharing and congratulations! (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*) (*8*)
 
Great story, Adam.

I hope it wasn't lost on you why your dad made you tell him you're gay. I mean, he probably already knew.

But it made you a stronger person by forcing you to tell him yourself.

Congratulations. You are a very lucky guy.
 
Re: Your Dad, your best friend

That was wonderful. Adam I am so happy for you. Good parents are such a great blessing and a wonderful support to us. Indeed, that is what we are supposed to be as parents, support to our children. So many times we try to live out our lives in them or we try to form them into us instead of helping them to mold into themselfs. Adam you need to know that your situation while not unique is not so common. Many people endure levels of pain and rejection. I am glad you didn't have to go through that. You will have an infinitly happier life because your family loves you and wants you to be happy and fullfiled. All you can do is share your happiness with as many people as you can and love everyone you meet as you have been loved. that is what makes this world a better place, one small act of love at a time.

give your dad a hug and tell him how much you love and appreciate him. It makes you want to do everything you can just to make him proud doesn't it? Isn't it wonderful the power of a good father on his son and daughters? How awefull the man who abuses that trust in his children. Thank you for sharing that with me. I want to be a better father.
 
Adam, my paretns where and are the same way...it's amazing and I'm happy we got dealt a good pair. But that's not why I'm posting that. I'm telling everyone that because my mother hitherto my telling her appeared to be the most homophobic bitch on the planet. With the words that came out of my mouth...she totally understood and has been great since day 1. I say that because some of you may think that your parents will never accept you, and then they do and it's wonderful. Some parents take more time. My friend's parents took a year or so to come around but now they are AWESOME. People can surprise you, especially our nutso parents.
 
Wow.. you gave me hope. I'm really closeted and yeah, life is short. :)
 
Adam, OMG this was a beautiful story ... you really touched me. It's little old gem-posts like these that I am extremely pleased to see bumped up from the depths of time.

Thank you for giving all of us hope to completely leave that closet behind.

(*8*)
 
I really am happy for you. You are blessed with such a loving and understanding family. More importantly, I'm really glad that you have finally walked out of the shadow. Life is beautiful, you also.
 
hey I just first want to say, congratulations. Really.
Secondly..I know the fear. I hope one day I can overcome it too.
Thank you for sharing.
 
Wow. I'm sitting here in tears hoping my own coming out will be the same as yours...in terms of the acceptance from my family. I've never considered suicide but I have been extremely depressed for the past few months. Thank you so much for posting this; it gives me hope for the future!
 
Adam, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

You made my cry, but know that it was a heart felt action and not one of sadness.

Your father is amazing, never loose contact with him.
 
Hi adam, Im so glad this story was resurrected, your story truely made me my hairs stand up and my eyes watery. Hope things are going good these days. Perhaps you can update us.
