I've had a Hard life {if you read back on my posts/profile you can see how bad it was} but this hurts, I know how this is and I have adopted over 6 teens {now adults yay~ I'm proud~} that were in the family like that but with both parents like the mom, and I'm just... so happy that father was there for the son in that way, and i can only say ... oh god to what that woman did after being confronted...

Not even sure that you should care if you were the a*****e or not in this situation. Let people believe what they will, but you want what's best for your kid to hell with the rest.

i would have divorced her the instant she suggested that.

Leave. And fight for sole custody. Get the wife to write this down as evidence of abuse. Don't stay for Kids. You all deserve better.

Hopefully they all get as far away from her as possible. Awful creature that the egg donor is.

Well done. If somebody tries to harm my kids I will set that person in fire. But how can you be married to someone for 14 years without realizing they are a raging homophobe? Or is this another case of "it was ok until it started affecting me"?

What a story. But yeah, dad, anyone who doesn't want to send their kids to proven torture camps just so they learn to hide their true self has their head on right.

Honestly, they're lucky she got violent. With the way things are at the moment, I'd have been terrified to divorce her in case custody was decided by a conservative judge and I wouldn't be able to protect the kid.

Ban religion!

There was a great story about a kiddo who had some midwestern psrents, like farmer “conservative” type. So kiddo finally told his dad he was gay in a note with the BEST response ever. Something like, well, if you’re out, can you pick up some orange juice while you’re out. Like that dad loved his son and did not care in the slightest what son is or isn’t. That is the correct answer. Help kiddos be happy. No matter what that looks like.

He should definitely get a restraining order, change the locks, and dump her s**t on the curb. She is a disgusting waste of space.

Omg, that emotional roller-coaster! I simultaneously want to bludgeon the mother, hold this young gay man & cry with him, while possibly breaking another of OP's ribs from hugging him so tightly. 😑

I'm soo sorry that you and your Kids had to go trough(?) this! (english is not my first language, I'm sorry for spelling-mistakes) You, Sir, is an Amazing good dad and a very good person! I cried when i read your story & I bawled my eyes out by the end. Your kids Will allways remember how you made them feel & they Will allways know how much you Love them! This makes my heart heal & smile!

Nice to see a father doing what he's supposed to. I know in a few states that the judge will put a protection order whether it's requested or not (judge boyd in Texas is a great example when it comes to keeping the abusive parent away from the victim). Hopefully, keeping her away for a bit will give dad and his kids time to gtfo. Mom needs to realize that being gay isn't a choice, just like being straight isn't a choice.

What is it with people who can't accept that someone is gay. I don't care what your sexuality is. And being gay has nothing to do with sex. It's about who a person is romantically thinks their attracted to. And that's none of my business. I wouldn't be surprised if the mother subconsciously is attracted to women, and the anger shown to her son is really the anger she has against herself. That's why she reacted the way she did. Imo, the most homophobic people are closeted gays who hate themselves, so they transfer that hate to those who don't give a fuuck and have decided to live their true lives.

Yeah, the kid is confused. Let him be confused. Being a teenager is confusing. Discovering your sexuality is confusing. It's kinda supposed to be. Having someone "clear things up" for you, and tell you how you should be feeling is never gonna yield positive results. Maybe he's straight and this is just a phase, maybe he's the most fabulous queen in all existence. Who cares? That's his business. He needs to figure it out. So sad to see that bigotry is still alive and well in 2024.

I'm a conservative Republican Christian..... This is nasty 🤢 just deplorable.....I hope God has mercy on that witch because I sure couldn't

Conversion camps are still legal in the USA? How utterly barbaric. Damn proud of this dad for standing up for his kid.
