Hey all,
I am back for a while to visit and say hello. I just read through the posts from the last month or so, and while I feel I have caught up with most of you, (those who post anyway), I wanted to specifically reply to Timmy's post of February 9, where he talks about anonymous and hidden visitors.
We all touch other lives, whether we think we do or not. How we are, what we do and how we act all affect others. By the reply on Timmy's post, one of those guys who was and maybe still is needing help and advice is getting it just by all of us being who we are. Kind, compassionate, loving, mostly gay, caring people. I said I came back home to visit, because there is no place like home. It is a place of safety, solitude, compassion and warmth. Our story writers are family. Timmy is family. The people who duck in and out need to continue to see us that way. Family in our home while we are here. Thanks everyone for being part of our family. Speaking of which...
As most of you who are frequent here know, I came out to my family over Christmas. Update: My mom is great... just great and hilarious. I have been dating 'Greg' since November last, and right after my mom met him she started calling him her son-in-law. My dad has now disowned me. He disagrees with my 'choice' and says I disgust him. My oldest son has also disowned me. Can anyone tell me what good it does to disown another person from their life???? It's not like they can force me to change who I am... While I am saddened about all this, I do hope they will come around. Until then life goes on. My youngest son (15) and daughter (13) are fine. They think the disowning thing is a joke, useless, and stupid (their words, not mine).
While all of this seems to be overwhelming at times, I will take nothing back. I will not ever go back into the closet. The peace in my heart and life now that I am out is worth so much more than anything. I can now say I fully accept who I am and that I do love me. I was made this way and no one can change that.
Thanks for letting me babble here. I just want you all to know that it is so much more important to be honest with who you are than staying sheltered in misery...
I love you all.

Welcome back home, friend...
Missed ya! *huuugs*
Sorry about the disowning thing, like your kids said, it's stupid. Maybe your oldest kid and dad will come 'round in a while when they've had a chance to calm down and think things through more thoroughly. Even if not, it's their loss. Your younger kids seem to have more wits, and your mom seems like a really cool lady! 
Again: welcome home man.
