QUESTION: Im involved in a long distance relationship with a guy who has full-time custody of his 2 sons, ages 16 and 18. The younger one just came out the closet to his parents. His father (my boyfriend) and his older brother are both classic jocks and his older brother is also homophobic. My BF reacted very well to his son saying he was gay but hes reeling emotionally. Hes only confided to me - no one else. His ex (the boys mother) didnt take the news well at all. The boy says his mom is in denial about it and is looking for someone to blame, and making him feel guilty. He had his first date Saturday night and my BF met the boy hes interested in. He laid out the ground rules to his son about curfews and places they could go and PDAs, the same as he did for his older son and his dating life. Im very open-minded and Im trying to be emotionally supportive to my BF but Ive got to admit, this is new territory for me, too. If this had happened to me, I would be joining a support group. But my BF is not the type to do that and he says he doesnt want to talk about it. Its definitely not a phase. The kid is very mature and has thought this thing out very carefully. This is impacting our relationship. My BFs plan was to eventually move to my city and leave the boys with their mother - even though they were never close to her - and now THIS bombshell. Any advice? (and please be gentle.)
