Yesterday was my 22nd birthday and I got pretty drunk, I ended up crying and telling my mom about how I've always felt abandoned and neglected by her and she broke down crying too, she actually apologized to me and I forgave her, and we agreed to look forward to a better future

Later on my dad and I were chatting alone and I laid all my cards out on the table and told him I'm gay... He said he always knew and doesn't care, one step further he actually admitted to me that he's bi and had been with men before he married my mom, not only that but he actually caught my Grandfather looking at gay porn before he passed... Three generations of gay men, my entire world has changed with this knowledge

My dad also told me that he was molested by as a kid and I admitted that I was too, this led to him crying and us hugging it out

I feel like so much weight has been lifted, my whole family feels more real and pure now, my love for my parents has been reinvigorated in a way I never thought it would
