Thanks you for sharing. Some familiar feelings I experienced with my religious family members too - a feeling of fear coming from the belief in a higher power.

My father was a minister (Southern Baptist), and my mother has degree in theology. I did not say anything to my father before he died and said something only indirectly to my mother who is in her 90s. She is fat too old to alter her thinking, and do we stumble around my gayness in an attempt to leave our relationship unscarred.

There are copies of Ahmsd's book at three of my county libraries! Of course I reserved a copy; they're in Norwood, Glen Mills, and Wayne, PA. Can't wait to read it!

🥲 Very touching. And very poignant. I never experienced severe family disappointment or fear, and I can still imagine the emotional turmoil you and your brother must be experiencing.

It was well written.
