Yes, I do understand them...
because they LOVE them.
Of course,
NO PARENT would want to see his child being criticized by other people.
NO PARENT would want to see his child condemn by the community that they are in.
NO PARENT would like to undergo an interrogation pertains to how he raises his child.
NO PARENT would desire to hear the name of his son as the center topic of a negative gossip and,
NO PARENT would wish for judgmental eyes looking them.
Who among us would like to experience those things?
I bet NONE of US.
But, we CANNOT CHANGE things
by forcing it,
by hurting someone,
by injuring the people who we consider and regard as our LOVE ONES.
It's okay to get mad but it's not okay to maltreat and neglect them.
Have you ever asked and found answers to the ff. questions:
Why a child usually vents his real-self to his closest friends? and
Why he prefers to keep his skeletons in his closet?
If no, you should know now the answer.
The BEST PARENTS in this world are the ones who:
Truly UNDERSTAND their child,
AUTHENTICALLY LOVE him,
SUPPORT him
and most importantly,
ACCEPT him.
Of all people, YOU ARE NOT THE ONES who experience the REAL TROUBLES.
At the very young minds of children who go through a dilemma on sexual orientation, they are the ones who suffer the adversities of all: Relationships towards family, friends and even their own selves because in this stage they are forcing themselves to 'deny' their own characters which later results to a more problematic outcomes.
I have the difficulty in understanding the harsh actions of parents towards their children.
I really don't get the point of hurting them.
If it is true that parents are afraid to see and hear the RESPONSE of SOCIETY,
Who should be the ones to blame for this?
In the first place, I should also ask
"Who ARE the ONES who give the STANDARDS in this society?"
That there should be a CONFORMITY to follow.
A CONVENTION to obey and
A LAW to keep an eye on.
That a person
SHOULD BE THIS and
SHOULD BE THAT.
hMM... I cannot force any (parent) to AUTHENTICALLY LOVE his SON and REFRAIN from HURTing him.
After all,
They are just PART of this flawed society.
BUT you CAN DO SOMETHING.
and I believe you KNOW what TO DO.
