Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came out to my parents and siblings as gay. They were very accepting and asked me why I waited until I was 25 to do so. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was their own homophobic remarks that kept me closeted since I realized it at 14, and that a previous coming-out to a parent was dismissed as 'a phase'. FML
Today, my sister came out as lesbian and my parents kicked her out of the house. I was also kicked out for supporting her. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. They laughed in my face. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as lesbian. Surprisingly, they were OK with it… just as long as I still marry a dude, give them grandbabies, and keep the whole lesbian thing a deep, dark, shameful secret that we never talk about again. FML
Today, I told my friends I had been hiding something that I wanted to come clean on. My one friend responds by saying, "FINALLY you come out of the closet. It's about time." I'm not gay. I was just going to tell them my parents were getting a divorce. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as gay and they reacted better than I expected. Then I found my car destroyed with a note that said "fag" on what used to be my hood. I never thought I'd have to sue my own family, but I'm lucky I have security footage. FML
Today, my brother came out to our parents. They weren't super happy with it, but they said that it was ok since they still had a straight son. I don't know how to tell them that I'm gay too. FML
Today, I finally opened up to my roommates about when I came out as gay to my parents, and how I was beaten and disowned over it. One roommate saw this as the perfect time to hit on me, since he's also gay and thought I was hot, but wasn't sure if I swung that way. Glad he was so invested in me pouring my guts out. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years after finally realizing I'm a lesbian. He then outed me to my very religious and conservative family. FML
Today, I came out to my parents. My mom and dad think that I'm lying, just so I could "fit in" with everyone else. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Because they broke confidentiality, you need to report them to your local licensing board and file a formal complaint.

Out them as unprofessional to whatever organization accredited them.

If the poster is under 18, the therapist can share whatever information they want with a parent...

Oh boy. Here come the down votes now that you brought in facts.

I believe even when you're under 18, and you ask for confidentiality, they cannot tell anyone what you've shared unless it harms someone else, or yourself. as far as I know, claiming you're gay doesn't harm anyone, so no. if OP asked his therapist to keep it secret, the therapist was obligated not to share. I suggest OP sues the stupid therapist.

moreover, if the opportunity is under 18 parents cabt kick them out

Actually, this isn't necessarily true. It depends on the laws in each specific state. It also depends on whether or not the child was listed as the client on the intake paperwork or the parents. I concur that this should be reported to the licensing board and a formal complaint needs to be filed. In addition, this has a potential malpractice lawsuit attached to it.

You should SUE that therapist for ruining your life. I'd be willing to bet that a malpractice lawyer would even do it on pro bono

seriously if you didn't vertically consent i would sue they have malpractice insurance.
PenguinPal3017 19
What if he consented horizontally?
manofmerr 27
He could've consented diagonally, i did that once.
doodlesmcnoodles 18
I don't think horizontal consent counts sadly.

Why does this have so many downvotes? Do people have no sense of humor or are they just dumb?
AstroTurfMatador 11
Or diagonally.
PhoenixChick 26
Getting horizontal with your therapist is also frowned upon by licensing boards

Change therapist and report him

Your therapist was right. They merely evicted you, and they did not murder you. Therefore, they are not THAT homophobic.
Catlover1130 14
The fact that they evicted him because he was gay is still highly catastrophic in itself. It's not guaranteed he has another place to stay so he could be homeless which can be a life threatening situation. If he dies because of that, that is murder. Not only that his therapist should never have broken confidentiality. What an insensitive comment.
Stiggy626 25
he's a heckler. all his comments are like that haha

There's these things we have nowadays, I'm not sure if you're aware. They're called jokes. Basically, they're absurd statements that aren't meant to be taken at face value. Perhaps you should Google it if you require more information. While you're at it, maybe also search for ways to remove that stick from your anus.

how would you like it if I said "all straight people should kill themselves" and labeled it as a joke you wouldn't take that would you?

Oh **** off, this isnt a joke

"confidentiality"- you can sue the therapist and have enough for a downpayment on your fancy new house without any homophobes. That therapist knew what was going to happen and just ****** up your life for *****.
Lora Wood 11
He will get more than a down payment!
lucasj23 11
report the therapist. they should not be practicing.

Yep, like others have said, pretty sure he broke doctor/patient confidentiality rules. However, if you're a minor, I'm not sure how that works where parents/guardians are concerned. Regardless, I have to assume you're at least an adult if they kicked you out, because a teen can't be kicked out with nowhere else to go, right?
evilplatypus 39
A) Doctor/patient confidentiality is still in place for minors unless the doctor thinks you are a threat to yourself or others. B) parents kick out minor children for this and similar all the time. Legal? Doubt it. Happens? Definitely.

A lot of gay and trans teens end up homeless, second only to single-parent families in rates of homelessness. I’ve heard of kids as young as 12 being kicked out for things like “being gay” to “tempting mom’s boyfriend”
ayenii 14
“Tempting moms boyfriend”? What the actual ****? This comment is off topic, yes, but shouldn’t the boyfriend be the issue here (since he’s apparently a pedophile who likes little girls) and not the child? Mothers these days, my god.

It's always the other woman's and not the cheater's fault.
KittyMack 13
Happened to my friend when I was 12 and she was 13. She had to go to the city to a special shelter for youths. Because it was HER fault her mom's new boyfriend tried to molest her /s. Some shitty moms in this world.

Please tell me that asshole won't get away with what he did. Report him soon before he does this to somebody else.
Sinshine 28
I'm not one to call to sue on everything but this NEEDS to be taken to court and this guy needs to be prevented from working any more before he causes more harm to more people.
