Parent's Fault for the Past? I want to meet a guy, a great, good guy that I can have a great relationship with. You know, the whole roses, candle lights, movie date thing, etc. Maybe I’m still too young for that but it’s how I feel. My religion constantly reminds me of how so wrong homosexuality is—it really gives me the thought that I’ll never find love. Everyone tells me that my time will come. Well, I’ve been waiting for so long that I’m sick of waiting. I’m still hopeful though and wishing.

A Somehow I feel that it is of greater importance to God that we are loving, generous, compassionate human beings than that we don’t go out at night. I don’t know where your mother got such a distorted idea and if that’s how she chooses to live, OK, but the real question for you is this: You are 20 years old, are you going to continue to live a life defined by your mother’s fears and her need to control? Don’t blame your mother. Your life is not her responsibility—it’s your responsibility. I would strongly suggest that you start taking ownership. You can’t say “I have an unhappy life and it’s my mother’s fault.” That just doesn’t work. You can create any life you want to have, and if you need to move a thousand miles away in order to do that—start packing!  ¶ 4:07 PM
