Hi Kyle Oh sweetheart, didn't realise how much we are alike. THAT could be a bad thing,or the best to ever happen.for us. I'm 43 yet act 13 years younger than you.Being honest-this took guts! To open up here,when all you wanted was to have this with you're mom,for that so I'm sorry! "MY KIND" huh? I'll be honest,that said to me,in whatever context would play over & over again in my mind.That one phrase is why we still have to have "marked days" Like LGBTQI or "Coming out day".Regardless of what was said,that phrase just reinforces "us versus them"!Sorry Kyle,but that,above all else must be apologised for. YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE! A far better phrase would've been "BABY, YOU WERE BORN THIS WAY!!!!" So you moved down south,somewhere where you could make something of yourself! Same happened with me Kyle.I moved from an ultra Catholic town down here (Manchester) to make something of myself,to feel free! I remember Dad saying I'd abandoned the family. It took time for him to be OK,but that mainly happened because mom died a year after I moved.It changed everything. Suddenly we could be more open with my sexuality,my living down here. Asking dad off his acceptance to marry Philippe! (Believe me that would NEVER have happened a few years earlier) It just comes back to THAT phrase Kyle. I'm sorry I can't let it go ,so what you must feel, Lord only knows! NEVER apologise for WHO YOU ARE! As hard as this feels,try not to feel "in the wrong". I honestly don't believe you where. We ALL have had shit happen,ALL of us! You're mom should (hopefully) be happy you're stable,strong,secure. It's all I ever wanted from my parents. Not even my sexuality mattered to me. It was more important to have them be proud of me! Sorry I rattled on. You're mom is proud of you Kyle hun. I know it. Even if she won't say it out loud right now! SHE IS PROUD OF YOU! Just as a foot note, I know mom & dad are proud of me. Even after all the really dumb shit I've done! They died when I was younger
Find new family. Dont feel like victim. Pull back, live a nice life, dont act as needy guy. Be open to your blood family maybe they change in time.
So sorry about what happened to you Kyle. Sending hugs x
