so you would say these homosexual fantasies were triggered by a character we'll call 'thesugargirl', who made an offhand comment about you being a faggot. do you think this was so upsetting because you have always known it to be true on some level?
by Turncoat"Recently during our last talk he admitted he doesn't agree with the faith they practice and is unsure if there is a god, or that there could be a higher power or the possibility of one."
Either way, the answer is one of self discovery and learning, and it's fun to watch them deconstruct what they held so rigidly before in favor of a new perspective. At the very least it usually increases their tolerance toward other walks of life.
Precisely.
by TurncoatAs for the "sued" deal, what are the grounds?
Pain and suffering for 'emotional distress of misleading an impressionable boy and causing distress and strife in a close knit family'. The grounds for this is ludicrous to say the least. My only problem with it is the more public it becomes the worse it is for myself professionally.
by TurncoatI meant actual legal grounds.
And what could they even do to you professionally, show off that you're not as Christian as a family of rabble-rousing nut jobs?
Their legal grounds are nothing. They still haven't formally filed anything yet and I doubt they will or can. Their son goes to one of a handful of schools that refer my employer to students and their parents that are interested in psychiatric help beyond the level that which the school can provide. Basically, if enough waves are made towards my name for whatever reason, the more inclined my employer is to fill my position with another more popular name. Tough market.
by PIMACThat is if you can't cry on command like I can.
No I can not.
by poisonWhy not just pretend to repent?
That seems to be the drift I'm getting. I don't want to add fuel to a fire by mistake is all.
yea, you already said that 'are all girls this disgusting?'. we're not going to get anywhere with this unless you let go of this anger and search deep inside yourself for the answers to some very important questions. 'am i a faggot in denial?" 'am i playing a losing game?' 'how has my relationship with my mother affected my interactions with women?'
by Two_FacedI guess I'm asking, should I try to do something to make amends with the family, and if so, what is there I could realistically do? A simple apology and groveling at the feet of the ignorant won't work in this case.
i hadn't read this properly before posting. you should offer an out of court settlement, and make sure to bend over.
