Family

My partner lost his mom last week. he has never came out to his mom or step dad about being a gay individual. He has always tried to live to please them, and be the best son that he could be. His mom although has known about him being gay, but has also never bought it out into a discussion with him.Well while dave has been dealing with the lost of his mother, his step dad told his sister to inform him that he is not welcomed to the house, and does not want any part of him, because he is gay, and he is excluded from the family wills.As this was a complete slap in the face, we have learn a hard lesson, that it is not worth it to live your life to please your family, as you will wind up hurt any way, and they will screw you in the end.As with my family, I can not tell them the truth about myself any longer, so it is hard for me to keep in comminication with them. I do talk to them maybe once a month, and when I talk to them, I pretend to be the son, they beleived they had.Maybe one day they will understand this is a condition, that I was born with, and not something I woke up and decided to do, since it seems like fun. Then maybe we will be able to communicate like a real family, and not play make believe.I certainly hope if this is to happen, then it would happen before it is to late, and time passes by without being able to share our true feelings.Even though at times I may get frustrated with my family, I still pray that maybe we can come to grow closer, and find a way to communicate with each other.
