Edibles. Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Meh. It's not the worst relationship and it's not the best. We'll never see eye to eye on ANYTHING at all but I'm lucky to have him in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oktober Knight Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I have become very close to my dad. I unexpectedly bought a home just a mile away from him and I make it a point to visit him a few times a week. My husband and I cook extra food to take to him and he's appreciative of that. My stepmother just passed away last month so we try to keep him happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChapelHooker Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Yes. I am very lucky in that I have very accepting, caring, loving parents. We had a rough patch but they and I have grown a lot. Hearing my dad say “I can’t wait for you to have a boyfriend one day”, knowing what other queer people go through with their caregivers, never fails to make me emotional.

ariananext Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I'm a straight woman and my relationship with my father is still almost non-existent, we're forced to coexist in the same household but yeah, I can see that he likes 2 of my brothers more than my first brother and I, and he's done countless bad things, we couldn't be more different in every single aspect, he's literally a person I would strongly dislike if I didn't have to. The only reason we talk is my mom and my brothers, basically family ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Life Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 My father was a broken man completely ruled by his inner demons who terrorized everyone around him. As far as I know he's still out there, but we've been dead to each other for well over a decade now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveInStereo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 A few years ago, I regrettably threw a matcha latte at him & said I never want to see him again. Things needed to hit rock bottom for us to rebuild our relationship from square 1, imo. He was way over involved in my life. He’s finally able to maintain boundaries now & things are mostly good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunUpDoneUp Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Unfortunately, yes, he's such a lame though but he means well. The fact that I'm one of the luckier gays is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConceptD Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 It’s so interesting reading everyone’s stories. I literally can’t fathom having a family that are accepting of me being gay. Literally not a single member of my family apart from one of my aunts who is just all round an accepting person and has faced **** herself because she dated a black person once has ever met anyone I’ve dated. It’s wild to me how different some peoples lives are. Probably the most accepting person in my immediate family is my brother, but even then I have to speak in code and he’d never meet my boyfriend. I met a guy once who came out to his dad via a PowerPoint presentation and acted like it was this huge emotional moment and I just laughed at him because to me that seemed dramatic and ridiculous, but he was the only gay person I’ve ever met irl who had a good relationship with their father.

Jynx672 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 No, he passed away 3 1/2 years ago because he basically worked himself to death. We didn't always have the best relationship but I'm still thankful that he gave me a better childhood than he had himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom wasn't thrilled about it at first but she's come a long way and my sister was always supportive none of my cousins said anything negative about it. And my family is super religious too.

4Real Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Kind of, but me and my father are very different as individuals so there's always this distance between us as we can't really talk about a lot of things. And also we've had a few heated fights in the past, which makes me a bit uncomfortable with him in general (I'm kind of awkward anyways, so there's that), Idk about him tho. But at the moment we're perfectly fine and I'm trying my best to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
