Your 15 yr. old son just told you he's bisexual! What do you say? No idiotic answers, please.?

Question

After picking my lip up off the floor, and wanting to run as fast as I could to the nearest door crying, I squeezed him ever so tightly and said: "I love you no matter what."

And, I meant it.

What say you?

Answer 1

I would just be like, "Oh" and go on with my life unless he wanted to talk about it some more. It's really not a big deal.

Answer 2

Breathe....this isnt the end of the world...all this means is that hes a bit more unique than everyone else. He is finding himself...and better now than in 15 years when he is 30 and has some kids! Of course you love him no matter what, he's your son. Everyone has these thoughts, he is just going through with them. And I know this is hard for you, but he is going to end up happier in the end, and thats all a mother wants, right? Maybe this is a blessing in disguise...and he said he is bisexual...he might go to the female! (not like anyone gay cant).
but itll be okay.
it works out for everyone else.

Answer 3

If I were the parent of a 15 year old boy who told me he's bisexual, I would just hug him and tell him that I love him, and that no matter what his sexual orientation is I'd always be there for him and always love him, and that in the end it's his choice.

Answer 4

Think your reaction was pretty much spot on.

I would have said similar. You should be prould of the son you raised, that as a confused 15 year old he is ok to come to you and tell you this. It really says something about your parenting, well done.

Answer 5

whatever u do, accept it, and let him hear that you accept it 100 percent. don't ever doubt it. it's not a phase and he's not confused. don't cry about it in front of your son, or while he's within ear shot. whether its tears of sadness or not, your son might get the wrong idea. don't just say it-- show your support too. in the future, make sure his partner is welcome, male or female.

i'm wondering where you're from, you seem to have a unique way of talking.

Edit: I believe this is the only way to sustain a strong, healthy relationship with your son.

Answer 6

well im about to be a mother of a boy. and i told my boyfriend if our son ever did say he was bisexual or gay, ide be ok with it because i feel like hes going to be what he wants to be, hes 15 let him figure out what he likes in life and your going to have to be ok with it, you cant force him to be stright. if he like both sexes he just does. its nothing you can really do about it. and of course you will always love him no matter what! but my boyfriend on the other hand said he would be mad about it but couldnt say much but i love you no matter what because its his son and he knows hes going to be what he wants and he is who he is and we cant change it.

but best of luck with everything!

Answer 7

thats an waesome thing u did about a month ago in mi county a kid told his mom he was gay his parents hated him for and he hung him self so u should always stick bye your son no matter what happens cause it makes them feel allwarm in side
if mi kid told me that i owuld say i suport u no matter what happens and that i love them no matter wha t or who the choose to be

Answer 8

It wouldn't make any difference to our relationship, I'd still love my child anyway, being bisexual/lesbian/gay etc. Does not bother me, it wouldn't change them so yeah, I guess I'd react in the same way

Answer 9

Perfect answer...
Just don't treat him differently. Tell him that you would accept him no matter what, and say--and I think this is important--that you're glad he felt he could confide in you and you're glad that he feels comfortable enough with you to tell you.

Answer 10

I would have said the same thing. You handled that well. Love for your child is unconditional. That was probably very hard for him to do. I would tell him that I was proud of him for being honest with you.
