Hi, I'm new here, but this subject really caught my attention. I'm the oldest of 3 kids and 2 of us is bisexual. I have yet to come out to my parents, but my sister did. Unfortunately I was living 2 states away when it happened, because the response that she got from the family was anything but good. My other sister and her husband refuse to let their kids stay alone with Rena because they are afraid that she'll "make their kids that way". My mom and dad refuse to accept the relationship that she's in. If anyone asks about who the woman is living with my sister she is always referred to as Rena's roommate. They have forbidden Rena to tell any of our grand parents about it because they are afraid of what they would say.
At the time that my sister came out I had been married for over 2 years. My ex-wife and I are both bi-sexual. We never hid who we were out where we lived. Then last year my wife divorced me (seems that she found someone else), and I had to move back here to try and get my life back together. Since then I've been tempted several times to come out to my family as well, however I have always held myself back. My son and daughter live with me the majority of the time, and I worry that if I do with the way my mom and dad reacted to my sister that they would try to do something about my children being here with me. I can't lose my children on top of everything else. So for now I support my sister and make my feelings known to my family. So much so that I even let them move in with me until they got themselves a new place to live. It's caused a little rift between my parents, my other sister, and I, however I know that once I finally do come out to them that they rift will become even bigger.
