[quote=Anonymous]I knew this was coming for a few years, as my son has said since he was 8 or 9 that he didn't know if he liked boys or girls more.  I've always been supportive and let my son that he can always talk to me, and over the past few months DS has said several times that he knows that he's bisexual.  I've told him that his dad and I love him, support him and just want him to be happy.  I just don't know how else to support him.  We moved from DC several years ago and live in the south now in a town that's nowhere near as progressive as DC.  I told my son that this is his life and his information to share when and how he wants to share it with family/friends.  I worry about him being really open at this point, because I don't want him to be discriminated against or targeted when he starts high school next year.  My husband seems to think that our son might grow out of this, but I know in my heart that this is not a phase and this is who my sweet son is.  We don't live in a town where many, if any, of the kids come out publicly this early, so I don't think my son is just going along with a trend. How can I best support him without smothering or overprotecting him?  I love this kid so much and just want to be the mom that he needs right now.[/quote]
