Mother from hell asks Amy for help re the gay son

I don't think she's a mother from hell.

[quote] While Samuel seemed nice enough, I was not prepared for the feelings that seeing them dance together and be affectionate would bring up in me. I thought about what others were thinking. I wondered what I may have done that contributed to him being this way. I felt anger at Jack’s father for never being a positive male role model or steady presence in his life. I thought about his safety with STDs that run rampant in the gay community as well as violence toward gay men that seems to happen regularly.

She (if that's even a real letter and not some random bullshit some editor made up) seems reflected about her feelings and open to revisiting them. How she is feeling also has a great deal to do with the values and priorities she was brought up with. The world isn't black and white, OP.

She’s had five years —-she gets no benefit of the doubt for her continued ignorance.

And, it’s 2024 not 1964. Get real.

What an uptight bitchcow.

At least she's seeking help for her feelings.

She’s not really—she’s asking for some kind of dispensation.

I wasn't really surprised, BUT...

She’s dying to know if her son is the man in bed.

Aren't we all, r8?

She seems a bit bitter and twisted... "I wanted grandchildren!", "It's his father's fault!", "Gays get STDS!". Maybe if she didn't have such a low opinion of gay men she wouldn't be having so much difficulty accepting her son.

I was expecting her to invoke the " I'm a Christian woman and his behavior is sinful," and was pleased to see she didn't.

R4 I'm adding [Bold]Bitchcow[/Bold] to my DL lexicon.

Thank you.

R4 Oh leave her alone. Sounds to me if she’s trying hard, abd trying too, to get over her negativity. She loves and supports her gay son and has welcomed his new bf into her home and family events. I say hurrah to mom and continue the good work. .

She was praying he was a top, but deep down she knows he's a big bottom.

“Amy, it’s not that he’s gay. It’s that he’s a fat whore.”

R13 nowhere in her letter does she say she loves her son. Her letter is all I, I, I…

R12,

My pleasure. It’s a popular term of abuse here in Scotland.
