I'm sorry Freddy. Keep it elevated and keep ice on it. You probably just sprained it really bad. My dad sprains his ankle all the time. If it still hurts extremely bad tomorrow then talk to your mom again.

That's what my dad was telling me.
My mom's just worried.
I've been sick and injured so often lately.



Wait a second.... now that I think about it, I had hurt this ankle a few weeks ago.
That probably didn't heal all the way yet, and this reaggrivated it.

well...see...it's kind of difficult...

But it turns out my brother is gay. And my mom is not reacting to this news very well. She's suspected it since he was a kid...but it's still not helping her. And I want to be able to help her...but I just don't know how to do it. I'm more or less ok with it. I mean it sucks not ever getting to have a sister in law...but I just want my brother to be happy in his life. So I'm really doing ok with the whole thing...but my mom is defintely not...matter of fact, she made a very inappropriate comment the other day about the fact that the Chippendale dancers are coming to town and my dad jokingly asked if she wanted to go...she said no...but under her breath she said something about maybe my dad could take my brother. My brother heard her and got really upset...and i would have too...that was totally out of line for her to say.

I just really don't know what to do. I told her she should go see a therapist...but she doesn't really want to do that...she went for a few sessions a while back, but hasn't really ever gone back. I still think she needs to deal with some issues with it though. I just don't know.

WOW, does this sound familiar to me. It's going to take time for everyone. Your brother is very sensitive to everything that he hears. Every joke is really a stab, every word that sounds like an insult is unacceptance.
Your mother and everyone else are unsure which way to go, how should I react, should I joke about it, and the as my mother always said to me, I just don't want you to suffer because of societies narrow mindedness. It will work out. After many, I mean, many arguments with my mother, we are now really close and they all except and love George as part of the family. (Wish I could say the same about his mother, LOL)

That's all good stuff.

And I don't know how "cool" my dad is with this news...but I'm ok. It wierds me out a little...but I'm more ok with it then the rest of my family. And this news would kill my grandma. So that's gotta be kept secret around her too.
Are you absolutely sure? Don't underestimate your grandmother and you can never really keep a secret from people. It wont happen, sooner or later she'll find out. My grandmother was more excepting then my mother at first. At least she knew I wouldn't let her wear chiffon and tint her hair blue. :lol:

My mom and my brother can't have real conversations though. My brother is a real hot head...and gets mad at everything. So any conversation they would have usually ends in a fight. With him yelling and cursing at her and her getting upset. They need to talk though...it would be really smart. And I keep trying to encourage my mom to talk to a therapist too. I really think she needs to.

If they need to talk, do it at a nice restaraunt, that way no one is going to be too loud.

Most definitely Nibbs.

I just wish I could be as strong right now with my problems as you are with yours.

Jo, you are a strong and amazing person, remember you will get through this. You'll get things worked out, just remember that right now looks like a deep dark tunnel, but there is an end.

Be very careful with injuries, I had a very sore ankle I couldn't walk on and I ignored it. Now I am paying for it. I hope you get it looked at.

Nibbles- This is tough for me to type because I am going through something right now with my oldest son (no he isn't gay. at least not that I know of) and I had to ask the pastor at the church I work at what to do. He said it is very hard to be a mom. Yes you love your son but he is an adult now and I need to "take the kite string and pass it to God and Trust God to handle this problem his way" Not mine. I need to pray and trust. It is very hard to let go and let God. I cry every time I think what my son might be doing. I don't even know if he is guilty or not.
I hope this might help you.

I really like that and it is so true. I hope things get better for you and your son. Big hugs.

Thanks Dan! You know...I was hoping you'd read this.

He is very sensitive...and he's always been sensitive in life...so the comment was a big stab to him. He will let some people joke with him about it (like I can get away with some comments) but what really hurt him I think was that she seemingly did it behind his back. And that's what really hurt.

And my mother feels the same way...she doesn't want him to suffer...and it's so hard. Because as you know...while society is now more open about it, there are also so many who are still so closed minded. And it does stink that he's gonna have to go through that too. And I think she kind of feels bad about that too.

I do know that my mom and brother will be close again...it's just going to take a while to get there. And that's going to be the hard part.

Well...no, not absolutely sure...but I don't think my mom wants her to find out, unless it's kind of an accident. I really don't know what her reaction would be. She could be fine, but she could not.

I knew you were just the person Nibbs needed to hear from.
Good job!
