 Adam - I am so sorry that you feel that your mom has stopped loving you. As a parent of a gay son too, I can understand what your mom is going through. I had to go to counseling, because I had no clue about my son's sexual orientation and felt a great grief of losing the future life I had forseen for  my son and for seeing a quite different life for him. I choose to go to a Christian counselor, not a priest(I was rasied Catholic) and was suprised that the counselor offered me great relief and comfort. I could not see my son choosing to be gay, and I always felt that he had a good heart. Have you suggested that your mom go to a counselor or to contact PFLAG for support? Let her know that you love her and that she is hurting you deeply and that you need her to be your mom. I am ashamed that I hurt my son in my reaction to the revelation of his orientation. I am grateful that I I found the strength to do what was right in seeking counseling. My son, you, and everyone who has struggled over years alone and then to be condemn for your honesty with the revelation your sexual orientation has my compassion. Just remember that there are many people who care for and love  you, including your mom and me. Please post back to let me know how things go for you. I truely want to know. You are in my prayers.
