 We have three sons, two of whom are homosexuals.
When our eldest son was 18, he told us he was gay. My husband's response was simple: "Are you sure?".
I, on the other hand, had a great sense of guilt and failure, wondering where we had gone wrong. We have always been a close and loving family, and I worried whether the relationship with our eldest son would suffer as a result of his homosexuality.
I also had a great concern for his future happiness and well-being, as did my husband. I soon realized that our son was the same person I had always known and loved, but through his honesty I now knew more about him.
But understanding came later, after our son directed us to Parents of Gays. I no longer felt alone; new windows of understanding were opened by asking questions, listening and reading.
It was a difficult but positive stage in my life, which took time and patience.
I am happy to say that today our family is as close as ever, but our relationship is more open and honest than before. This content can be found at www.gayfamilysupport.com
