Support Groups
Close Families & Friends of Gays & Lesbians
My 18 year old son is gay. He told my husband and I when he was in the 9th grade. He has our full support, and we love him no matter what. My biggest heartache is his not having had any "dating" or relationships. This is really taking a toll on him. He is a "straight edge" kid...no drinking, no drugs, and finds that most of the gay boys his age are into the "partying" scene and promiscous sex. I want so much to help him and to find communities where he can find other gay young men like himself!
Close Gay Men's Challenges
I am the mother of a gay 18 year old son. He has much pain right now from the lack of acceptance, and from not having had a relationship with anyone yet.He is discriminated against, made fun of and is in alot of pain.I need resources so that I can help him!
Open Gay Parenting
As a mother of a son, 18 yo, who is gay I face the challenge of not being equipped to helping him with the issues faced to a young gay man. He is in much emotional pain RE: lack of acceptance, no boyfriend, etc. What resources are available to me? His Dad and I are 100% behind him!
Open Twins, Triplets & More
I am the mother of identical twin girls who are ten years old. I love the girls to death, but get very frustrated with the behavior at home. One of the girls is in constant competition with the other, to the point that she is always saying how we "favor" the other and think that the other twin is a "perfect angel". She still has major temper tantrums and there are NO favorites in this house. We work very hard to make sure that we spend one on one time with both of the girls on a regular basis!
Open Menopause
I have been thrust into feeling like I may possibly have turned into Dr. Jekyl and Mrs. Hyde...I am diligently taking vitamins and things recommended for periomenopause, but this month is kicking my butt.How long does this LAST? Argghhh.
Treatments
- Black Cohosh Considering
