I am not sure where to even start, I am a regular poster on MN but have changed names for this.
My son( 16) told us last that he was gay, I had suspected this for a couple of months as it seemed to have a crush on a boy at school. I didn't say anything to him but waited for him to tell me which he did. During last school year he developed a crush on different boys at school ( none of the boys are gay ). He was attending a very traditional all boys school at the time and told me that part of the reason he didn't tell us earlier was that we may not have let him attend the school if we knew ( he told me he knew since he was 9).
He has now said that he is not gay and doesn't know why he said he was.He is attending a different school for 6th form. He has told us many terrible lies over the years and we feel very alone. In reality it has been very difficult to believe anything he says for as long as I can remember.
Can anyone offer advice?
