Ok, any help on this would be highly
appreciated. I have no idea what to do.
This is the situation: my parents have
been married for 35 years. Over the years
(over about 10 years) I have found several
things indicating my father is gay. I am
now almost certain he is gay. I have
dealt with this on my own for a long time.
Last week my 15 year old brother came
over to my house stating he had found
something and said he thinks dad is gay.
I told him I already thought that, etc,
etc. We are unsure if our mother knows.
I am older, and have been able to deal
with this as I never really had a good
relationship with my father (maybe this is
because i'm a girl...).
I am afraid my brother is not dealing with
this well at all, he is now drinking
heavily at least once a week...And he's
only 15!!!
I have no idea what to do about this. It
would break my mothers heart if she knew,
and my brother is steadily going downhill
after finding this out. I'm not sure what
psychological effect this has on a 15 year
old boy. And might I add, he's a very
"masculine" boy.
Please, please, please help!!!

The most important thing I think you can
do is to do what you can to keep your
brother from drinking at his age. Next I
would say that it might not be your job to
break it to your mother. She should
probably here it coming right from your
fatherl; how you manage to do that is the
trick.

Talk to your father! Tell him how you
feel and what you think its doing to your
brother.

that has nothing to do with being able to
handle it or not.
