Reply #6: It does in the "step" part of my family [View All]

[elfin]

Of those three step sibs, one daughter is gay, one has a gay son and one now wonders if her daughter committed suicide 20 years ago because she had struggles with her sexual orientation that neither she admitted nor her parents wondered about at that time, but now do due to later revelations from her sister and nephew. Looking back, I now believe that was part of her emotional distress that she could not or would not share with those who loved her. The times were so very differdnt then in sharing and accepting that information.
