Hi Louise!

    Thanks for Chapter one!   

Nothing like a little Nicky licky & Do-me Dupree to find when I get home!

Hot Damn, Louise!  You always please!   You sure know how to start a story off with a bang!!   That was great! 


“Ya know, my momma is the type of person to ask right in the middle a dinner – who’s the man?”

“So I’ll tell her we can go in the bathroom and pull our pants down and she can check.” Jeremy began to scrape along his jaw with the razor, looking at his lover in the reflection of the mirror.
    Good one, Jeremy!!

This was a surprise: 

Jeremy stopped shaving, and gave Nick a serious look. “Look, Nick. I know they ain’t keen on you bein with a man, any more than my folks would be – but at least you told em. I haven’t got any intention a tellin mine.”


Huh.  How long could he possibly keep that a secret?  Jeremy is usually so forthright.  Very interesting, Louise.  You always keep us on our toes, don't you? 

Thank You!

One step at a time!     Jeremy just came out to himself.  It will be a while before he can get comfortable with the idea himself.

SPOILER : Chapter 2






 “You always had an eye out for Ennis,” Jeremy said. “Why don’t ya give it up on him? Ennis don’t even like you!”

“Sure he does. Why do you suppose every time he sees me he threatens ta give me a spank?”

“Cause yer a horse’s ass, maybe?”   Jeremy replied.

 

He he he!

Oh, I agree!  I wouldn't expect him to feel comfortable telling his family immediately.  I guess it's just the way he said "no intention"   - it sounded a little like he wasn't planning to ever tell his family and I was wondering how long that could play out!  But I'm probably just jumping the gun!    

Thanks - Marie

I had no intention of telling my parents either.   That worked up till I was 29.   Then I was getting physically sick when it was time to go visit them.    A few therapy visits later it was decided that my guilt was making me sick.     I went to a PFLAG meeting first.  The lovely little old ladies sitting there knitting all patted me on the head and said: "Dear, your parents already know.  Just go home and tell them".   So I did.   And they were right.   My parents said they had already guessed that and it was fine long ago.   Problem solved. 

PS:   The PFLAG (Parents and Friends of  Lesbians and Gay people) are a great group of people.      When I visited them, there were some parents there with thier sons or daughters trying to sort things out.   There were some young people there to help the parents, plus some parents and grand parents there to talk to the kids.  What a great resource.

David,

That's a great story. Thanks for sharing. I love the image of the little old ladies knitting and patting you on the head.

I always hear the story as children coming out to their parents. Is there ever a situation where the parent says, "Son, (or daughter), we know this about you, want to come clean?" David, do you know?

Leslie,   I don't know of any kids whose parents confronted them.   It may be possible, but I didn't continue going to those PFLAG meetings after my problem was resolved.   Although I have often thought about going back to help out.

But I have heard from one or two guys who said their parents (fathers) tossed them out of the house at a young age for being queer.
