[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 665619, member: 1550"] This is about the bisexuality thing only, It is probably wise not to say it's a fad, That dates us and also is probably not true, It also invalidates our adult children who struggle with this difficult issue, I could not force myself to be with a woman, fad or not, I don't think most people can, We are what we are, Even if we don't believe that in our hearts, I still think it is best not to say it to them, It does sound invalidating, Now it could be he is using that to push your buttons because he kn knows you disapprove, They do that to us, It is always the safest just to accept and, if saddened or disappointed by something, keep it to oneself, There are many things my mother said to me in her day that I wish she would have kept to herself, even if s he truly believed them, I am learning, late in life, that it is not always necessary to say our point of view to our loved ones, Trust me, I know your son is acting horribly to you and this is more general post, I hear a lot of people in their 50's and 60's saying these things and I just personally don't feel it is a good idea to voice t hem to our kids, Reminds me of when Grandma used to say, "Blacks and whites just shouldn't mix, If God wanted them to, he wouldn't have made different races," To our young people, this is our generations version of racism, Just my opinion, of course, Can't be proven, Anyhow, back on topic again,,,and sorry for the interruption, [/QUOTE]
