What can you do to prepare?
ByMy son, “Daniel,” who was in a long-term relationship with a woman and has always dated women, has now declared that he is bisexual, and is dating “Timothy.”
We will be getting together for the holidays pretty soon. Should I tell the family ahead of time or just let it be a surprise to everyone when he shows up with his new boyfriend? I tend to favor letting these two adults handle this in any way they choose – subtle or not. It is not polite to blindside relatives with revelations at the holiday table , but your son’s sexuality is really not anyone’s business, and his relationships are his own to conduct, as long as he does so with honesty and integrity.
