[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your mom knew. She loved you. She knew you cared about her. You didn't need the showdown. It sounds like she did accept it, in her way. Maybe not in the most healthy way but that's family for you.

I'm sorry for your loss.[/quote]

I agree with this. Your mother knew you were gay. You said yourself that you tried coming out multiple times to her and she would essentially shut it down. But she knew. And she may have known before you ever did! The fact that you were close growing up and that you dropped everything to care for her when she was sick was a true expression of love and I'm sure it gave your mom a great deal of peace. I'm sorry that you are left feeling so alone and vulnerable but I agree with a PP that if your cultural community is unwelcoming, intolerant and judgemental, you need to leave it behind. You mention a brother. Are you two close at all? Perhaps he's also feeling alone with the deaths of your parents and this might be a good time to build/rebuild closeness with him. You have a shared history (in many ways) that no one else has. [/quote]
