I am becoming obsessed with my Dad's failure to come out of the closet and I'm scaring myself.

Don't know how I expect anyone to help me but I would be interested to know if anyone has any ideas about how I go about coming to terms with this as I don't seem to be able to.

I (and my mum) have suspected my Dad was gay since I was 12 (am now in 30's). Mum has now died and Dad, although seemingly living a gay life with friend who has moved into the family home, refuses to admit to us (my bros and I), that he is gay. We don't have a problem with it incidentally, we just would like it out in the open so we can all move on.

I now have definitive proof that he is gay so why does he lie about it and what am I supposed to do?

Everything feels like a sham it's awkward to visit them now, and we are worried that this other guy may have a claim on the family home, were anything to happen to Dad. AAAGH! I feel like I'm becoming a real obsessive weirdo.

Nothing to add to this, except, isn't Desi brilliant!

You are so right, she is.

Feeling a lot more settled this morning although still can't seem to respond to dp very well, which I can see is hurting him - tried to explain to him that I feel completely introverted at the moment but am going to initiate some counselling next week and get to the bottom of the screwed up mess that seems to be my head at present .

Desi - you are an angel x
