Rogueminister, I was very fortunate that my family supported me when I came out to them. Unfortunately that reaction seems to be rare. I hurt everytime I hear another story about families turning their backs on one of their own for something that is a part of them. dcsw, I agree that the kids will be more tolerant and open minded. A very positive trait in today's world. Thank you for your kind thougths. bejewell, The boys are surrounded by love and I hope that the rumors die off before too much is said to the boys. But as long as they are loved by their parents and family, I think they will be allright. hudson, Thanks for your comments. The kids are very close to their father now. One of the best side effects of the divorce was the boys spending a lot more time with their dad. Hi all, Thanks for joining in and for your comments.

But if I may say one thing, that is, to remember that a father is a direct reflection of how one child views God. Your children are obviously very loved. But if they don't have the love from their father then they will have a hard time accepting the love of their heavenly father. You have some good words to bring to the table mam. I enjoyed your post.

If you love your kids, the ex loves your kids, the new girlfiends love your kids, how can it be wrong? They might struggle with rumors spread by hateful ex-father-in-laws, but as long as they know they are loved, it will all be okay. Really! It’s all about love.

FOR THE BETTER. They will become more tolerant, caring, compassionate people. And what's wrong with that? This world needs a lot more understanding. Think of the freedom they will have when they realize that people are free to love whomever they choose. We go to a very liberal church (Unitarian Universalist) and we see evidence of this all the time. Good for you for having the courage to be who you are--aso a lesson in itself.

Thanks for your honesty with yourself and with others. The world needs more people who can face tough realities with the kind of honesty and grace that you have done in this post and what looks to be the same in your life. I pray blessings on you and your children. My brother announced to our family that he was gay/bisexual a little while back and didnt get the warmest reception from some folks, so I can see that it can certainly be a terribly difficult situation, but I trust that the love and grace of God will see us all through. Blessings and Shalom I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Thanks for your honesty with yourself and with others.

Animals can be our kids, they can be reflections of ourselves, and they can be enriching parts of our lives. Today I lost a friend I have had for 13 years. She had cancer and was in kidney failure for 6 months, but she wasn't suffering and today she just layed down and died. I miss her almost like on of my kids because when I take an animal on it is for their life span. However long that may be. I think this may be a blog so I'll quit here, but know I understand the special place nibbles has in your heart. It makes perfect sense.
