I can so totally relate with all that. Parents going into limbo and praying for a cure. Not wanting to educate themselves…. Facing the same problems as a gay guy. You have our love Brenda. Stay strong.

It was really moving, and very elegantly constructed, moving between the bathtub and the memory of the phone conversation. Sending good wishes your way

The messy Neither-here-neither-there relationships that we tend to have with our parents, is like a permanent wound in a vital organ that we cannot do without. I hope your/our patience pays off! Hugs

Hello Brenda, I wish I would have gone and met your parents when I was in Chennai and that issue of hospital admission of your father happened. Atleast they would have known that similar persons like Brenda exist on earth and their child is not the only one.

I wish you the very best. I hope your parents, for whom you do seem to care deeply, understand you better and embrace their child fully, very soon.

Chandra.
