How not to react when your child tells you that he's gay

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

16. When “the church” is your base …. Things are different.

I have listened to this several times.
Dad expresses if total rejection verbally.

Mother totally loses it. She is more concerned about how she will appear to the other church women. Therefor her reputation and standing in the church is more important to her then her son. It is not a matter of "I have all ways known", but I have been waiting for you to betray me for years. She will not love him until later in life when she needs him. She whines about having fed and clothed this child. She is very self-centered. (You were not strong enough to bear this burden silently. You have failed me.) She is the one who resorts to violence. It is all about her standing in her community.

I am no expert but I have finished raising a few boys over the years. This boy is deeply hurt. We know he is strong though, because he calls her out. I am you son and I cannot live in the basement !!!!!

It is that drives her to violence.

He is stronger than her, he will eventually control the relationship.
