I married a man who later came out and is currently gay or as I like to say, " community". we have a son together. at first, i was very uncomfortable with it. I didnt know what to say or how to act. though we lived in seperate states, i was very uncomfortable with the idea. i thought that people wuld pass judgement on me and my child.

It doesn't bother me as much now. I do family events together and its okay. I have met a boyfriend or two. it was a little uncomfortable but everyone was nice and friendly. I dont know what exactly to say to my son about his father and being "community" but i'm sure that when the time is right,i'll find the words.

though a lot of people thought i should keep my son away because they felt he would become gay from his father. i knew i could never do that. because no matter what, thats his father. and i am is mother and we both love that child to death.

* I am so sorry that you went through this. I do know that by talking to you that you have seen to pull through this. In life we are all tested to see what we can and can't handle. Don't give up. The most imporatant depsite his liking you both care about the bigger picture. The chile. As long as they are a good parent doing what they are suppose to do then its on them. If you teach your child the difference between right and wrong then when they group up they will know what's right or wrong for them. In the end the only person who can the child live is the child
