I'm surprised that your pdoc did that. Isn't something like that confidenial ?
Unless I decide to presue anything, I'd die if my counseller told anyone. Oh no, now I'm paranoid !

Hi Link,
>Not sure how to break it to the parents.
How do you think they'd react?

Heart attacks, starving to death, will my relatives accept my sexuality, will I burn in hell forever (just thought I'd throw that in). Obsessing about the size of your dick doesn't really compare with these, eh?

Oh Ed, I dunno that *I'd* call it obsessing. Everyone likes a big one, don't you think, but it depends on what you're gonna do with it too.

Hi Declan,
>Everyone likes a big one, don't you think.......
I dunno, I think it's a confidence boost more than anything!

Lets just say with my mother's high blood pressure, it might not be medically advisable :)

In some cultures, it's the size of the bottom lip that makes a person attractive. Whats downstairs is meaningless.
Its all in the eye of the beholder.

Its not just that. Its the fact that my parents are so religiously oriented. My grandfather was a Anglican Minister.
Its almost better if I don't tell them. It would literally make her more depressed since she'd live out the rest of her days thinking that I'd burn in hell for the rest of eternity.
Its really a mess.
I'd also need to meet somebody first otherwise they'd think that I could still be turned :)

Just wanted to say that my best friends have always been gay. I love gay guys and if my son told me he was gay who cares? What makes you happy is what's important. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Link,
>Its the fact that my parents are so religiously oriented. My grandfather was a Anglican Minister.
My mother's catholic but she doesn't mind that I'm gay. Perhaps she wouldn't react in the way that you think.
>I'd burn in hell for the rest of eternity....
Would she really believe that?
>I'd also need to meet somebody first otherwise they'd think that I could still be turned........
I think my parents gave up on that idea a long time ago!

You think her 'religiosity' is part of her illness?

"You think her 'religiosity' is part of her illness?"
Perhaps she would be the same if she had not been raised in a such a religious environment, I don't know.
I do think that what she has been taught does not always lend itself to an often unforgiving mind.

I hope you don't mind that I've changed the subject line.
Parents can be more accepting than we give them credit for. My mom is catholic, but when my sister came out she was ok. Confused at first, sure, with all the <is it my fault> guilt stuff. Denial for a while <it's a phase>
But when it came down to it, her love for my sister was more important than any past indoctrination.
I would think a more important question would be to ask yourself how much honesty with them would play a factor in your mental health. Seems like you've tried everything else.
