This may seem unbelievable. But for the sake of the fun, let's assume it's true.<br><br>I have a very specific nightmare regarding my dad being gay. It has to do with me finding out through Twitter, and the tweet is always the same; "I'm bi". (maybe I just dreamt about it and the rest happened in real life, who knows) <br><br>I had never heard of my dad being into dudes up until that moment. I was 17 then. It was shocking to say the least, but I decided to deal with it later and go to sleep. I woke up the next day, and I thought that it had been just a weird dream. I was wrong.<br><br>On the 10th of October of 2017, I logged into twitter and found "I'm bi". No, this is not a joke. I was in utter shock. I felt like I was living in an episode of a comedy TV series where something like this would happen as a recurring theme. No, this isn't my dad. I went to bed, and I cried.<br><br>Next morning, I woke up and made the mistake of checking the messages of support that I shouldn't have. I've already read one or two messages saying I should've known or stuff like that. That was the last straw and I entered a state of unhappiness that I have never felt before. I felt like I couldn't say anything to anyone. <br><br>I called a friend. She says that she already knew and the damn bi community is already trying to get their hands on my dad. She said that they're more sexualized and... I don't want to remember. I hung up the phone and I cried. <br><br>As for my mother, she said that they're getting a divorce and that he's not gonna live with us anymore. I don't know about the bi community yet, but the gay community is already celebrating. A lot of them have been sending me tweets asking me to "accept" my dad, yet they're the ones who aren't really accepting of me because I have a different opinion on the matter. Some of them have been using my dad's coming out to promote their agenda, and many have been making fun of me, telling me to "man up" and that I'm being "baby-ish" about the whole situation. They don't really have a right to say that about me, since they don't even know me. <br><br>Lastly, I've been trying to call my dad for the last two days, yet he hasn't answered my calls. I feel like I'm alone in this whole situation. The only person who's been there in my darkest hour up until now has been a person I met on twitter too. I don't even know what to feel anymore.
