[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I had been on the "outs" for years, we separated in Oct 14. Our divorce was final June 15. My parents complained about my ex being lazy and unhelpful to me with the house, kids etc.. for the last 10 years of my marriage. They fully supported the divorce. Well, when we separated, a male friend of my took a bigger role in my life - simply because I needed help with the house. (I bought my ex out of the house).  My male friend is single, no kids- has lots of spare time. He will come over and mow the lawn, handle small repairs at the house, even make dinner!  He is wonderful.  He's been my friend for over 5 years.  It is JUST a friendship. He is GAY. My mother is assuming that I got divorced because of him, had an affair with him and she simply will not let me know explain to her that NOTHING IS GOING ON. NOTHING WILL GO ON. HE IS GAY. She has so much anger, she just will not speak to me.  Except to say. I don't agree with your life choices, don't talk to me. I will only talk to you about my grandkids, nothing else.  She has also now befriended my ex husband and invites him over for dinner.  I typed up a email to her explaining the situation, and that my friend is gay and is not a romantic friend, never has been, never will be. She never responded. I call her, she screens her calls and has never once answered the phone when I call.  My mother is very "old school". She doesn't understand that there are many walks of people in this world and that a man and woman can just be friends.  I don't know what else to do.  She is 71, and I hate what has happened to us.  I'm sad and angry at her at the same time.  Should I just not be friends with him?  He has been my biggest help/support. I would miss him terribly, and I don't think that ending the friendship will change my mother....  Any advice is welcome. [/quote]
