Hmmm...nice to know here at the ever-tolerant LPSG we can possibly be ordered how to conduct ourselves, how to raise our children, how to live our lives and conduct relationships. What's more, we can also have guidence on how to judge others. Brava. What a cunt.
Lex, back to you.

I do agree with the fucktard that parents' first responsibility should be to their children. But I guess I get caught up on his illogic that hiding the reality of a father's sexual orientation is somehow better than being honest about it and raising a tolerant, loving child.

I spend a lot of time with children from many cultures and societies. I have to tell you, kids aren't the ones who have preconceived issues with an adult's sexual orientation. This is response learned from judgemental bigots -- and it does little more than perpetuate prejudice against gays.

So, I see a lot of common ground between Lex's "behavior" and the guy's argument. Lex is in fact serving his children well by raising them as well-rounded, educated, and open-minded individuals.

Calling Lex sick for this is in fact a contradiction. He's doing exactly what you're advocating.

Yes, living a lie the wrong way to go. Its like the couples who stay together only for the benefit of the children. Insulating children from all your struggles deprives them of learning from how you handle adversity, how you recover, and how you rebuild your life.

Surely it is in the kids best interests to see their parents fulfilled and happy. Kids pick up on everything and parents living a lie can have a big effect on them. In addition living a lie is not exactly a good example to set kids. What does it tell them about life?

These are two points that I could not articulate yesterday as I was as red as my singlet. I read the PM to Mrs. Lex and then my reply. She was very appreciative.

All you "owe" your children, Lex, is for you to be who you are, a man of integrity, and to love them. All you owe anyone who is critical of you as a parent is a cold shoulder. How dare anyone else presume to know what is good for you or your family? How galling! I would bet my life that you are a loving, protective, nurturing parent and a genuinely honest spouse, but even that is none of my business.

John, WYSIWYG with me.

I know some who have come and gone from this place would tell the world otherwise and I think that it based on their own fear of knowing someone so genuine and real, as it tends to expose their own fakeness.

Anyone who has taken the time to meet or talk to me on the phone knows who and what I am. This is me. No more, no less.

I bet Lex puts out cigarettes on his dog's back. :biggrin1:

Hung Muscle and JustAsking both eloquently stated what I would like to have said, but Sorcerer nailed it with this:

Neither of my parents are straight. They were not perfect parents, but we were raised to be honest, have self respect, choose our friends carefully, show kindness to those in need, and serve our communities.

I am proud of our parents, above all they were kind. Our upbringing was not perfect, or free from tragedy.

I am grateful.

As children we learnt our parents were human, and what it means to be human, what it means to have respect, and how honesty enriches that respect.

Judgemental people (with their brand of ignorance and arrogance) lower themselves.

<.>I do find it scary that you absolved ClaireTalon of what was clearly a grievous fault by sleeping with a man in a commited relationship. You shoud have spanked her like you did me or maybe its ok in your world to cheat, I don't know. To me thats unhealthy and you seem to be unhealthy if you agree with her. Read Sassyspy to see what YOU should have said.<.>

This is the part that also concerns me. WGC, I have no issues about you being concerned about my behavior, taste in men, and sexual habits. But you don't have to give Lex a shitting because he happens to have some understanding for my situation, and doesn't condamn me. It's not "unhealthy" to agree with me, I consider it more unhealthy to tell people, "You should have said...".

I agree with you Claire. I do think though that the real reason for WGC having a go at Lex was not really connected to what Lex said to you in your thread. WGC started a thread with "For Str*ts Only" in the title. Lex picked up on that in the thread as did others.

WGC obviously has issues of some sort and I suggest that WGC address his own personal issues before telling others how to reply to threads or raise their kids.
