Supa's grandma totally put a smile on my face, I'm still cracking up about what she said at bingo

WHEN!?

btw Supa, Like she didn't already know.

They do but it's just way deeper than that. Long story short:

• gay
  
• being in abusive relationship
  
• writing about that relationship and on my path to healing
  
• my cousin's death in the face of my healing (from domestic abuse no less)
  
• joining a public speaking group
  
• applying for a masters program in spiritual psychology

And all this to explain how the tide of my past is bringing me forward into a place where I am my authentic self and with the purpose of bringing a sense of honor to the senselessness that is my cousin's death. The aunt and uncle are the parents of my dead cousin.

It's more than just coming out

This joyful thread makes me smile ... but I'm also laughing now I've seen it again - I mean, Supes, how camp must you have been for your uncle to know you were gay at 6 months!

I do love you so.

hehehehe you and me both, but in my case it's my Indian genes - we all like to glitter up too!

I'm gonna come back around to her though because I gave her my domestic abuse article to read as it is the thing that began my rebirth Gotta figure out what to share in the 2 rememberances for my cousin. Lots and lots of pain but such beauty through it all.

Hi Supa

We've never really spoken but I've read quite a lot of your postings over in PR - enough to know that you're a pretty cool guy and I am so pleased that you've taken this step.

I wish you much love.

So proud of YOU!

DiminutiveRocker said:

I'm so relieved!

ok fans, I'm too tired to finish it today.

Soon!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Honey. It doesn't take a witch. I'd wager that you were spitting up rainbows.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Supa, this really touches me. I am really moved by how all this is coming together for you. You're amazing.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I love your grandma.

I'm very happy for you supa.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Damn, but she respected you enough to wait until YOU were ready to tell HER. I'm so happy for you sweetie, it's a mile stone. Do you feel that this will make it easier to tell the rest of your family? I don't mean your dad cause I know that ain't true, but your aunt and uncle?

Congratulations, Richard! You are truly fabulous! So's your Grandmother!

I am moved that you are moved! Sometimes I almost feel like I'm on the inside of myself looking out at someone else doing all this It was a big step for me and I was feeling so spiritually blocked knowing this is something I needed to do but not knowing/feeling the right time for it. I'm relieved like you wouldn't believe. Had my grandmother died before I had the chance to say these things to her, I would have had something monstrous on my hands to deal with emotionally. I killed the beast before it could rise!

spitting, shitting, cloacked in them like a burkha Yeah, I knew she knew it was just that I never have told my dad's family about this part of my life. Shared nothing from it. Now's simply the time

Out, in, on.....oh the interpretations!

TO people. To!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

im no expert or nothing.but i think at this point she mighta knew

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Well, the fact that you have the courage and ability to acknowledge and act on your spiritual blocks suggests you'll die a happy man.

I do believe you are embracing your inner mermaid.

She's really in there isn't she?! Still waiting for her name to be revealed....

That's the plan!

It's funny because going into it I had so much pent up energy over the whole thing that it was sort of hard for me to be overly emotional and believe me, I could totally have cried at my grandma's feet the whole time. the both of us did cry at times but I was calmer than I thought I would be going into it. Approaching the house, I wanted to throw up But once I got into it, it was fine and I was pleasantly surprised that I kept it together like I did.

Still, even knowing she would not reject me and knowing this is what needed to be done for me/her/family, I was scared as hell. This gives me the courage and the resolve to approach my dad and my aunt/uncle
