    This episode is really personal for me, as I know first-hand how this is. Brian, I'm sorry you're going through this. I know it hurts. I truly hope he just needs more time to deal with it and come around to at least being cordial about it. Just know you have plenty of us out here for support, even if it's just a message of encouragement, should we never meet in person.
    While I never came out to my dad personally, he knows 2nd-hand that I'm gay. My parents divorced when I was about a year old, and mostly only saw him at Christmas, and might would stay a week or 2 over the summer pre-high school age. The last time I personally had contact with him was in 2004/2005. My mom last spoke to him in January 2006 when I was dealing with a life-threatening illness to let him know, and he offered any help if it was needed. Well, it turned out to be an empty offer, as he never once called, visited, texted, emailed, nothing after that. To be honest, I wasn't really that surprised, as usually I was the one who initialed most of our contact.
    in 2013, I received an email through Ancestry, and it was his wife messaging to see if it was me. She said she missed me and that they were trying to find me. She always tried to get me and my dad to have a better relationship, So, I decided to once again go out on a limb and emailed her back with my phone #, regular email and address so they could get in touch with me. Here it is, 11 years or so later after this, and still nothing. That was my last attempt to try and make a move. I just couldn't deal with the continued disappointment I had been dealing with from his side most of my life.

      I resonate so much with this story. I made my mind up a long time ago to really just go through the rest of my life without having him apart of it. However i still felt the need to take that last step/ attempt at a relationship only to once again be met with disappointment. This was the last time he’ll get to disappoint me though. It feels good reading this knowing that I’m not the only one that’s gone through this type of disappointment and understands where it is that I’m coming from.

    You told him you would give him time to process things. Whether he knew or not, this is the first time he's heard it from YOU. Please give him grace before judging his silence. Yes, it is incredibly brave and challenging for someone to come out to their loved ones. However, keep in mind how difficult and devastating it is for a parent to mourn the life they imagined for their children.

    • @MeetTheMazelins
      @MeetTheMazelins  Před 2 měsíci +2

      That’s very true. The time at least is something that should be given. And you are very right about the power in hearing it from me for the first time. The silence however is what I have a problem with. If the love is truly unconditional it would be nice to at least get something in return. It would be lovely to hear….i hear you, but I need time. Or “I may not understand, but I love you regardless”. And I feel like this is something most of us coming out would most certainly appreciate and as a parent, would be nice of them to offer. It already feels bad being the Child (feels funny saying considering we’re all grown here) but still having the sole responsibility of navigating that part of our lives often times alone and then still having to be the one to spearhead the convo and spare others feelings in the process. But, all in all, we still remain hopeful. So as they say….only time will tell.

    New subscriber here. Your video was in my recommendations. I know what Brian is going through. When I came out to my parents in 1981 at the age of 20, I was immediately disowned. It didn't really surprise me as I suspected that's what would happen, but it still hurt. My father and I were never close, but my mother and I were. I made several attempts to reach out all through my 20's to no avail. I finally gave up trying and created my own little queer family. As a side note, it wasn't only my parents that disowned me, but the entire family didn't want anything to do with me -- aunts, uncles, cousins', grandparents or siblings. I wouldn't change a thing because my life has been better than I ever could have imaged it to be. I have my chosen family; I had a wonderful partner for 33 years that I lost nearly 3 years ago, and I have my health.

And that we find solace in knowing that most of us figure out that we can choose our own family. We’re so happy to know that you had that support system in your chosen family and your partner.

    Well well well, Brian, my heart goes out to you on this topic. But I will say this give ur dad the time he needs to process the information. Continue to love him. Leave your door open for him ok. Remember ur a dad too and there are things that Bj may do that will b upsetting to you. So give him grace and space ok. I personally think you did the right thing by officially telling him. My brother be proud of yourself you have been a wonderful example to yourself, family, friends but most importantly you've been a wonderful example to your son Bj, so once Bj is fine you did well. Alec is there by your side too and you have great friends, and you have us. I hope some day we can meet, my dad lives in St Cloud. All in all Brian keep doing what your doing your on the right track. Each generation has to do better than the 1 before so we can all improve. He will come around one day. Just be ready to forgive and welcome him. Have a great day, stay wonderful, happy and blessed..

    Brian, as many have said, I know this has been an emotional rollercoaster of a week for you. Just be assured that you were respectful and honest about your feelings. Your Dad may be taking time to process, as you suggested. Don't give up hope but move forward with your life and be happy. In time he may come around but if he doesn't, that is sadly his loss. I believe because he has never missed a Birthday, he obviously loves you and I, like Alec, am hopeful! No matter what, you have each other and you both have your son's love and based on what Alec said, the love and support of both your Mom's and all of the Maze Gang! We love you guys and support you 100%. Consider yourselves hugged! We are so proud of you! Hold your head high and just know you have so much love and support from all of us! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with the world. You bring so much encouragement to many who may have never been brave enough to do what you do on a daily basis! Hugs and much love!

    Hey guys hope you’re both doing well. Brian in your message to your day you told him that he can take his time if he wants to process what you have told him, I think you should give him time. For some people the process take longer to analyse and for that reason you might think he does not care, but I believe that time is the healer and it is my hope that one day you two will get to a place of love and acceptance. You have done what you needed to do, now it’s up to your dad to do his part.

    I'm so appreciative that you guys have partnered with Better Health, because my mental health is incredibly important. I've always wanted to find the right person to talk to. However, when I go through my insurance, I always find people who don't look like me or have anything remotely relatable in common. As a result, it feels strange talking to them and I typically just stop. Currently, for my mental health, I do a lot of writing and take long walks. However, I plan to reach out to Better Health. Thank you. 💜

But, in your message, you said if he needs time, then take the time…. I understand how you may be feeling because I came out to my dad in 2012 (I was 20), and he didn’t talk to me for about 2 years. He still wished me a happy birthday via text during that time though. Now, we have a MUCH better relationship. I say this to say, don’t lose hope yet. You granted him time to process and it may take longer than you were hoping. Good vibes 💚💛❤️

    Proud of you for sensing the message but what I always try and do and my friends tell me or thing I do to much is to do exactly this. Meaning you've done your part to bring him close and make him apart of your family. Him not responding could mean his taking time and don't have the tools to start his conversation with you to gain understanding and find away to be apart of who you are. This being said and coming back to my point of doing your part I say find peace in the fact that you did what you could. I find that if I do my part and I know I mean well and I still am met with nothing then that gives me the freedom to detach and move on. Focus on the people that sees you and accepts you for who you really are and find most the pease in that their within support of you and Alec💓

  • @tonyrossbackinthedaymusicv3107

    Wow I admire you Brian, for coming out to your father, he sounds like my father, they know it, they just don't wanna hear the words, i think with time, he'll come around, don't let this get you down, you did right. again he'll come around.

      And to be honest Leon that's all I wanted to hear. Something! Not just that you left me on read. Tell me you don't understand but you still need time even. But I think all of us in this situation, no matter the age, just want to hear "I love you regardless".

    Brian, I pray your dad processes your truth and reach back out to you soon. I understand how you feel mine is a little different I'm adopted and finally met the parent that gave me away, so I'm finally getting some closure too, keep your head up. Alec I'm happy he has you to keep him lifted, love you guys have a blessed, productive and prosperous week.

    Brian, I'm so sorry that you opened yourself up to your father only to get disappointed. I understood just how painful it can be to let down by someone who is supposed to be there for you no matter what & it can be difficult to process the pain. Just know that you are loved by so many and that won't ever change. We're here for you & Alec. Always ❤

    This is a great video. I never got to come out but i never hid who i am either. I'm 66 and it was a different time. My father told me when I was 14 if i was he was ok with it. I always thought that was so cool of him. Your not only a classy person Brian, but very brave as well. Both of you are

  • @conflictpersona8
    @conflictpersona8 Před 2 měsíci +3

    I agree with Alec it’s good Brian did it for himself to unburden that. I agree it’s the parent’s job to facilitate the relationship not the child and it sounds like you tried. It sucks and your feelings are valid. I’m glad your husband could be there for you. Parents like this should be ashamed I don’t get it 😢 like your love for your child shouldn’t be conditional. A lot of ppl are saying he might come around and maybe but try not to take on that burden. It’s his lost if he doesn’t

  • @earlford4100
    @earlford4100 Před 2 měsíci +2

    And then closing I think it's imperative that you follow up verbal with your dad on this and not be afraid of what you might have to hear from him which definitely might not be favorable, but guess what that's just one of the many in equities of life that we have to adjust to.

      Maybe he felt like saying it, he wanted to tell his story, he probably just tired of having of this don't ask don't tell. Alot of families felt like it they don't hear it from you it's not true and he did the right thing by letting him hear it from his own mouth

    Brain and Alec. I have been following you guys from the beginning of your journey. I have much love and respect for the both of you.
    I can understand both of those comments, yours and the other gentleman. I also feel like it takes two, the parent, and the Son... However, I can appreciate the way you reached out to him via text message. I also feel like this is a serious issue, and could be better handled in person.
    But we don't know the whole story, only what you share with us and I'm sure there is more to it, the hurt and pain, that no one can understand but you.
    Nevertheless I am praying 🙏🏾 that God intervenes, sending good energy, healing and forgiveness, while there is still time.... Amen!!

    Alec, I always say the same whenever I am in the US about the heat there. What I have come to realise it's a breezy heat in Trinidad 🇹🇹. In the US, it's a stagnant type of heat, it feels like you are in a dome.
    Brian's father knew but was waiting for him to bring up the conversation first. Sending ❤❤ to both of you.
