So, I wrote this letter I plan on giving my parents upon our arrival home from our cruise next week. I was wondering if you fine ladies and gentlemen can read this over and tell me what you think? Much appreciated!
Dear Mom and Dad,
There are only so many things in this world that you can control. You always told me that you will always be proud of me and that nothing can change that. You said there are always worse things in the world such as drugs, jail, and death that can be worse than what I am about tell you. Since 6th grade I have found it odd that other guys could just sit there and talk about women like they were nothing. I often wondered why I didnt engage in sed action. I knew that not only that it was inappropriate that it was also weird and embarrassing. I did have a relationship with Kayla, just to see how it was. It was not something I enjoyed. I figured you always ask and it is always weird replying when you ask if I am gay. I am finally ready to answer your question. Mom, you yourself said you had the right to ask and I should have told you. I am Gay. I am proud of who I am. I am not afraid to hide it. The only person who knew was Amanda. When she told me about herself and her parents I knew I had to help her. I realized that through helping her it taught me what not to do. For one, lie to you and second to be honest with myself. I know it will be hard adjusting and coming to sense that your son is a queer. I suppose that is what I am here for. To help and answer your questions. First to answer the question how do I know. For one, do you know that feeling you get when you two first met? You wanted to talk more and get to know each other and you had deep feelings about one another. That is how I feel about some people who I would rather not say yet. ONE point I would like to make clear is none of my close friends know. Joe, Garrick, Orin, Kevin, James, Bryan, Nevada, Maddy, Asia, Antonio, none of them know. I thought that telling you guys first is the best option. I do not have a thing for any of them as well. Just friends. I would appreciate it if you could keep this quiet till I can tell them. I would also like if you could not question every guy who comes over. I am still friends with a lot of guys. Second question, what do you feel when you think of these other men. I think for one that they are attractive. I think that the feelings I feel for them are personal and that I can't explain it fully. It is just something that I have that cannot be explained. You said that at my age I should know by now, and I do. I will not change my ways. I hope that through learning this you won't treat me any different than before. I am the same person I was before, but now you know more about me. I know how the grandparents would act if they found out, that is why I am asking you don't tell them or let me tell them. I know you would have probably rather have this said in person but I know that you said it would take a little bit to understand this and I think this is my best option for coming out to you guys through this letter. You are my biggest inspiration and I love you more than you will ever know. This was a difficult decision of mine and even now typing this I wonder I will be able to press the send key. If you are reading this then obviously I have. I love you and please help me through this. Your support and love will mean everything to me.
