Coming Out To My Son

Published by aaron43 at 12:01 pm under Daily Life Edit This

Dating with a son around is always hard on a dad but being a gay dad this was a challenge. When he was younger it was easier, he didn’t ask many questions. I think he only ask once why one of “the friends” was in bed with his daddy. Of course back then it was easy to say where else was they going to sleep when the apartment only had 2 bedrooms so he was ok with friends sleeping in the same bed.

 

When he got older and smarter of course that didn’t fly at all. I knew when the time was right I would tell him. I didn’t want me & him to be like I was with my folks. There was things never talked about when I was growing up, one was sex and god forbid gay sex. I said I would never be that close minded with my boy, we would be open about everything.

 

So one night eating dinner he was like 9 he ask me dad are you gay or something? Yeah I was floored somewhat but I looked at him and said yes I am gay. He was like ok I have questions and I was like ok sport ask away. Of course he ask all the normal questions that a 9 year old boy asks and I answered all of them.

 

A few years later he came to me and I think us being open about everything it made it so much easier for him to tell me he was bi, that he liked both but at the time he told me he had a boyfriend he was 12. I am like damn 12 and a boyfriend, I am so not ready for this! I didn’t know that ahead of me would be 3 more boyfriends and 4 girlfriends. He is making me so gray headed I want to scream.

 

Oh the boyfriend now is like emo or whatever they call them with the black hair and black polish and all. Yeah help me! Guess that’s it for today like I said I am open for questions to any parents out there that might need some advice or to any kind of questions.

Totally love this band 3 Doors Down and this song omg just listen!
