I have an adult daughter, who was in a relationship with a man for NINE years, then left that relationship for a woman. What’s up with that? Is this really “normal lesbian behavior”? I just don’t get it. Any input what be greatly appreciated. I enjoyed reading your testimony….it was awesome!
God’s best to youand your family,

My son (teen) just told me he is confused and has feelings for another. He has not acted upon them, but the other person is also confused. He has been raised in a christian home and very active in church and youth, he is also into theater and can be a bit more influenced and is more around the environment. I am not putting blame on anyone or anything. He is confused, so am I. I am numb, stayed calm and talked to him to pray and take his time he is young and doesn’t really need to be in a relationship of any kind right now. I must have told him I love him many times. However, again, I feel it is surreal right now. He told me tonight, my husband, his father is out of town and returning tomorrow. I want this handled as best as it should be. I don’t want him to make rash decisions that he may regret later. He talked to his boss who runs the theater he works at, she lives the lifestyle. I don’t even know why I am writing, I am trying to hide my tears, he is in bed now, when we talk more, do I show my tears? besides praying, what do I do now? I worry about the future of how he will handle this and I do not want to see him get into a depression or anything else. He is a good kid and does love God. I could use someone to write back.
thank you,
H
Thanks for writing in, H. I’m glad you did. Is your youth pastor attive in your son’s life? Are there other trusted people he can talk with about his doubts, questions, etc, besides you and your husband?
Holly, I had the same conversation with my son last night. You echo my feelins, numb. My son is scared, confused, sad…I am too. I have to keep reminding myself, it is not about me, it’s about him.
