My 14 year old son recently told us that he is gay. I love him and support him in his decision, but can't help but feel he is not giving himself a chance to experience life in order to base his decision on. I feel so sad inside, scared for him because of what he will have to face in the world, and I am very confused. I am seeing a therapist and she told me that I am grieving. My baby is making a decision that is altering our lives as a family. My head accepts all of this, but my heart is broken. Does this feeling ever go away? ↓

i'm sorry to say this but.....
Is it so bad if he is gay?
My problem would be the age thing and the way that other people may take it.
Can you really not just love your son, it must of been sooo hard for him to tell you.
It must of been so hard for him to tell himself.
please be there for him. ↑
