Re: Homophobic Daughter Letter: Grandpa Slams Daughter For Disowning Her Gay Son
Actually, homosexuality is not the main issue for me. Abandoning a minor child is, as I feel it might be for the others you are referring to in this thread.
I spent last summer, 2011, getting a homeless minor off the street because his mother and her husband threw him out. Instead of finding services to get help with dealing with his issues (teenage angst), they tossed him out to sleep on park benches and couch surf at 16. I was stunned that his grandparents did not step in, or maybe I'm assuming they knew? Or possibly they did and that's where mom got it from? I know there was a great deal of pressure from her husband and she had to uphold his decision.
Or possibly the story of one of my neighbors will help you see where I'm coming from when I tell you she and her husband obtained custody of their 2-year-old grandson and had nothing to do with their daughter until she cleaned up enough to come around when the boy was old enough to ask about her.
So no Vance, you're wrong there. I want nothing to do with a child of mine who would abandon their minor child. My mom had every reason in the world to kick my brother out when he was a minor (he did really terrible things) but instead chose to find help for him. Thus modeling for me how a parent handles a child with issues, though being gay is not an issue, certainly not the child's issue and is definitely the mom's own problem to deal with (in the OP). Disowning him because she thinks homosexuality is icky is even worse than if he had actually done something to her.
What's amazing to me is how anyone could have any compassion for such a woman.
Yes, Gina...he is. What is amazing is you cant see it in your own words. He isnt abandoning her...he is just giving her a taste of her own medicine. You know...abandoning her.
Where this any other issue other than teh geyz, I highly doubt you and other here would have him up for father of the year award.
You, like others, would abandon your child rather than model love and compassion. Wonderful. ****ing amazing.
