Re: SIL gossips to her kids that our teenage son is gay! (kinda long sorry)
I remember when their daughter was briefly my friend on fb she had a video of people with black painted faces eating watermelon she was preteen immature with her friends making jokes. Then I would see her in a Bob Marley shirt..their children are confused. Bashing communities based on the language they speak, color of their skin, & sexual orientation not because people have personally wronged them is wrong. My grandparents immigrated from italy were never a burden on tax payers.
Past week not a peep.
Getting back to the gay comment:
Make sure this mess ends and ends now. Put your foot down and make it clear that she's nasty and her comnents are unacceptable.
Since I blocked them they havent said anything, I dont feel guilty for treasuring family moments with out them. Their kids sometimes sound like them or I can tell they talk behind our backs, my oldest & H would tell ya I dont sit around & gossip I save my complaints for the councelor & this has helped me better than some articles.
I posted here cause I never tried it & exchanging ideas & listening to other peoples input or what they are dealing with helps. I think in todays society their should be open dialogue but unfortunately you could put it as caring as can be & they would be offended. I just want them to be more sensitive & less abrasive & I feel like Im singled out. Sometimes they do stuff on the sly.
Also I am African American, Italian, & Choctaw, when my hair is straight I look Latino & the English remark is always being directed towards the Spanish speaking community.
The less you see of these nutters that insult other people or say nasty things about them, the better off you will be. You don't want to slight the cousins but then again, who wants them having their mind polluted by their mother -- then they do what, go arnd repeat this back to your son, "yeah we heard you are gay." Really? This isn't great for anybody.
