What about your parents? Were they accepting? Mine weren't but little by little I think they're getting there, my mum more than my dad though.
My father was not accepting. He eventually turned around, but his alcoholism makes it impossible for us to have a relationship.
My mother was fine with it, even though I was unable to speak with her until I was eighteen. I never contacted her until later in life, and she was perfectly fine with it; most likely because of the time we had lost to be with one another.
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad
I know well what alcoholism can do to a person and a relationship.I get on very well with both my parents - they love me and I love them - but it's still tense if we talk about it and I certainly couldn't parade a boyfriend in front of them. That's just the way it is and I have to accept it, but I still love them with all my heart.
Anyway it's nearly 2am for me now and I have a long Mafia game ahead of me tomorrow
, so it's time for bed. It's been really nice chatting to you, and maybe we can carry on another day? Goodnight
