Well, Sweetie -- I am VERY proud of you! That took such courage!
And, you know what?
As I remember he wasn't really there for you as a child. And, if he is idiot enough to not continue to be there for you as an adult -- IT IS HIS LOSS! ...And, a very big loss for him.
I bet he will come 'round.
But, you hang on to you, your love, and your friends! ...for me, the family that matters is the one I have created.
My own family -- well, I won't go there.
Sending you love and a big hug!

Hi K!
I will be your daddy! Hopefully your dad will come around, you are the sweetest most caring person I have ever met and it would be a shame for him to miss out on you and your relationship because of who you are.
You know I am always a phone call away if you need anything.

it is liberating when we realize someone who daunts us can no longer scare us - particularly over who we are.
This realization allows us to form real bonds now that the old dynamics are discarded
good luck with pappa.
Wow - that is a really, really evolved way of looking at this. It tooks me a couple of years to come to that way of thinking. I knew I was gay really early but didn't come out to myself until I was 19 and didn't come out to everyone until I was 21 when I met my partner (now my husband). These years my feeling has been that no one "accepts" me - they either continue our relationship or not...it's up to them and not my deal.
You seem to have traveled this path very skillfully in a relatively short period of time. Congratulations!!!
Yup you're right.
Loving yourself is often the thing that is most important.
My aunt (I live with her and not the folks) didn't take it well, and truth is even now a year plus on, she still is funny about it. Doesn't really effect my day to day life anymore.
Good on ya. Be proud of yourself.. I sure am.. I recall how screwy the whole coming out thingy was.
I'd offer to be your daddy but I ain't into the whole daddy-kid thing.
Grats... hugs... it's all been said. I am so proud of you though, so very proud.
Isn't the truth something else? I mean, really something compared to hiding, covering, changing stories, even lying when necessary. I love that "I cracked a smile" sentence! I'll just bet you did. The truth can do that to a person. thanks for visiting my site today.
Big hugs!
Very brave of you Kris, good for you. I hope when the dust settles everything will work itself out for you.
Just a thought buddy to make you smile a little, probably not a good idea to ask a bunch of gay men to be your daddy, it has a whole other meaning there! Well... as if you did not already know that. ;P
Congrats! You're out! So brave and fierce!
But if you want the rest of the family to know, you'd better tell a woman. Dads are sometimes really bad at spreading family gossip with the speed we'd like.
*hugs*
No matter what, darling, you're a beautiful wonderful human being, no matter what the gender of the person in your bed. Srsly. I totally adore you.
