Ds friends dad shouting at ds down the phone

[Youagain2025]

Ds is 17 almost 18. He is gay. He has a friend who he's known since he was 3 hes just turned 18. through nursery and school. This friend has tried flirting with DS a few times tried to kiss him . Ds brushed him of turned it into a joke . Because he's not his type of person and he's known him such a long time.

The friend has always said he's straight but tried it on with DS so them DS thought the friend is may questioning his sexuality . Anyway . Ds was not overly worried ds said he just made it into a joke and left it at that.

The next thing DS knows is his friends ds dad has called DS shouting down the phone at him telling him that his son is straight and not to try it with him again. He's not welcome at his house etc.

Ds thinks the friend has probably tried to talk to his dad about his sexuality and that it's gone wrong and the friend has used DS to get out of the situation.

I'm just a bit worried because its a middle age mature adult phoning ds and shouting at him down the phone

Ds and his friend has just sort of forgotten it really. And meeting up etc . All I can think is just to tell ds not to go near his house I don't think there's much I can do is there really

Maybe they felt a bit awkward. For a few days

No ds will tell me if he wants to . As I said im not worried about the 2 talking being friends etc . Its the father of the boy I'm worried about

Erm I think its probably quite normal for 2 friends not to talk for a few days if something a bit awkward has happend and them on top of that the father is shouting at ds . They obviously wanted to keep their distance for a few days maybe felt awkward angry etc. Then ds said he's meeting g up with friend. I told him not to go to his house because of the father. He said he won't.

Just because they have beem friends for a long time does not mean I know the parents well . I knew the mum at school pick ups at primary school. But we were never close friends just a bit of small talk here and there. I probably saw the dad a handful of times .

It’s your comments that are weird

You seem over invested anyway 🤷‍♀️

I would imagine his father is finding it very difficult to accept his son is gay (not an excuse) and I would probably advise my teen to see it in that way. It’s his friends father’s issue and not your son’s issue, and I’d recommend he messages his friend to get some outside support and that he understands things are difficult and then step away for a while until things calm down.

You don’t know the full facts here op, so I would avoid getting involved and monitor the situation carefully. I would be deeply unimpressed if someone spoke to my son like that, but would let him handle it as far as he is able to, he is almost an adult. Step in if he asks for support.
