I'm a gay man who married his best friend and started a family. Now I'm divorced and still trying to come to terms with who I am and what I want in life.
Youngest son is home from school today. He had not been feeling very well for a couple of days but I thought it was just a cold. When I did not get better and he complained of an increasing sore throat I became concerned. Since he is without health insurance right now, I did not really have a place to take him. T offered to see him at his clinic. I thought that was really nice and I took him up on his offer.
It turned out that my son did have an infection and needed an antibiotic. T prescribed it and sent me across the street to his sister's pharmacy. She filled it and then refused to take my money. It was a generic and cheap antibiotic, and I could have paid for it, but she said something about my having to put up with T was payment enough.
Anyway, the whole thing was a useful reminder that even though I do not have a huge support network like some people, I am not alone. I have people who care about me and for that I am grateful.
I am gay man in his 40's who was married for 18 years to a straight woman, who is still my very best friend. We have 4 children together. She is now remarried and we still want to be supportive of each other and make a stable family for our kids.
