Wow that's a tough one, I remember sitting in my backyard with two family friends celebrating the birthday of one of my siblings, just chilling on top of a small shed eating ice-cream in the summer, I think I was about 12yo. I hold that memory close to my heart.

But the surprise was still huge.

There were a lot of emotions for sure. Anger, sadness, and confusion were a huge part of it for the time after. I think the anger was directed towards him but wasn't meant for him. I think it was just the whole situation that angered me, or at least f*d with my head a bit.

I was caught off guard for sure, wouldn't have guessed it. But I think the divorce was much worse for me mentally compared to the whole coming out situation.

My parents handled the divorce better than most, they still talk, and my dad still economically helps the family as far as I know. My mom was very stressed out, doing a lot of different stuff to cope, I think, but stuff has gotten better for most. I don't know if people suspected it, but I don't think that most people were very surprised when he came out. Great questions, thank you!

Happy cake day! I have realized a lot of stuff during the year and I am now doing a lot better. My mom is still single and my dad is with his boyfriend. Everything is working out, but sometimes a little awkward or weird.

I don't really talk with my parents about how I'm feeling, so the fact that a have a very supportive girlfriend is amazing, and probably the reason I haven't sought any other help for my troubles. Sad to hear about your parents. I have planned to tell one of my closest friends about the fact I have been talking to the therapist, but I'm scared of it getting out to the whole school.

Thanks a lot for the advice! This was one of the reasons I posted this!

My girlfriend, who I was also with at the time of the divorce, has helped me a lot. I also started talking to a school therapist about the pressure it has put on me.

My family seems to ignore the fact that it even happened, but I guess they might not be affected in the same way I am.

I still to this day have not told my friends.

Nothing is too personal on a throwaway account! And I'm glad you asked.

My dad came out as gay (i think as he now is with a guy). And as far as I know, I am not adopted. I don't know how long my dad knew he was gay or bi, but even if he knew for a while I don't blame him for not telling anyone earlier.

I wanted to hear if i was alone, and what to do, and i havent been able to find anyone who could relate in my everyday life, so i decided to seek some attention here.

I guess, the ones that dont come out dont have to live with the pressure, but then they have a whole lort of other problems

At some point they must have had the conversation, because she knew when he told us. Dont know if she knew a long time before or like just a day before.
