1. All I could express after reading that was an expulsion...'PHOOOOOH'

How horrible! Many gay children are disengaged from their families, which is horrendous, but this!!!!

4. Oh, shit. My PTSD again.

Surviving the execution attempt by my late father at 16, becoming a runaway to save my own life still causes me to examine my mortality, my generativity, and what, how many lives my late father must re-live to learn his lessons.
I do my best with my adoptive son, living with his understanding Aunt. I give him all the things that my life missed had my father been better understanding. May Allah grant Giovanni Hafiz and a better life.

5. Lord have mercy

6. I have so many questions about this

Why didn't anyone step in to help this poor child? I have tears in my eyes right now thinking about the horrible life this child had to endure. Why was he in Foster care?

My son was about the same age when he came out. He had a friend about the same age, his dad kicked him out when he found out he was gay. He stayed with us for about 2 weeks before I finally got in touch with a relative that came from another state to pick him up. The dad told me that he didn't care if he lived or died. I just cannot understand how anyone could have that kind of hate for their own child. I grew up in an Pentecostal family that taught us that being gay was wrong and evil. When my son came out to me, all I thought about was how much I loved him and I never want anyone to hurt him. Saying that to say, no matter what I was taught , the only thing I felt was love and an overwhelming need to protect my child. As a parent, I just don't get that kind of hate for your own child. Geez, Jeffrey Dahmer's parents never stopped loving him.
