The hardest thing to tell them
So, I told my parents that I'm a homo.
The reactions werent violent or sad, although Mom kind of looked like she might cry, but lately she cries at the drop of a hat. Dad was very cool, sort of shrugged and shook his head, "You live in different times."
I explained that the reason I finally told them (since I never really thought it mattered) was that they were going to meet his parents, and I wanted to say something before they did.
That and I was being completely unfair to him, his parents, and myself. We deserve to be one big dysfunctional family and not 2 disjointed ones.
On a sidenote, my mom and aunt are not speaking. From the backstory I got, it sort of makes sense, although I don't want it spoiling the reunion in August. I want to see Gram and my cousins. I do not want to see my mom and aunt taking separate corners of the party to themselves. Actually, I think Mom isnt even going.
I just don't understand.
