Finally Sent the Letter to My Dad!

[slimvintage]

Oh goodness, well my Dad lives 30 minutes from my house and I sent it on Friday. So I figured the very latest he would get it was yesterday.

After I got back from DC, he texted me asking if I had made it back yet, and that he loves me and hopes all is well. But, no mention of the letter . . .

My theory is that he got it, but isn't freaking out enough to bring it up. I think that the letter did enough explanation that there really isn't anything else I could see him having questions about.

So let's HOPE that's what happened. If that's the case, then all is well!

I'm about to call him now and see if he brings it up. . . I'll keep you posted!

Remember what I said earlier? "Oh we've known about that for a couple of years now, the coach told us and we all had to smile at your having to keep it secret." You've probably got it about right, that he's assimilated the news and decided it's no big deal. If he didn't know what a good, smart conscientious kid you are he might take a different tack, but what can you say to a young upbeat taxpaying wellmannered straightarrow goodguy even if the main work experience listed on his resumé is "international porn star"? I love it.

Even so it will be interesting to hear what he says. Peace out bro.

I won't try to top how well Slim has stated our affection for you in here Rob. We all certainly hope that this has gone well for you. Even if he needs some time to assimilate all this news and come to terms with it, he will still have every right to be proud of you. As I'm sure he is.

That story reminds me of the type of response my Dad would give in that situation LOL . . Thanks for that story, you just made my day. I'm about to call my dad right now and see if he says anything

Rob I hope all goes the way you want it to.
You seem to be an open, caring and honest young man and I am sure your Dad is proud of you and should accept how you make your living.

Good luck my friend

Rob,

Good for you, I think! I certainly do hope it pans out like you hope for.

Consider this. Some older people (parents) do know, or suspect about our sexuality, and never say anything. Even after coming out, some folks just prefer not to talk about it. And that goes for many choices that kids make that might diverge from the expected route that parents have perceived for their children. Still, I know that sometimes, even if they know something, they just don't want to talk about it. Okay, so maybe they will not judge, or give you negative (or positive) feedback,but that doesn't mean that they particularly like your choices, much less than they want to discuss it. I've even known parents who have said they were better off not knowing! And they ask why you felt compelled to tell them. You haVe already made the first move, not jsut sit back and accept HOW your father wants to deal with it. Just sayin

I am getting a little spooked as to how it went. Since we haven't heard from our dear Rob in quite a while I hope that he and his dad are doing okay.

oh Tampa,

You are a sweetheart to worry. I have a feeling that all is well. I think we would have heard if there were bad news.
