[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 728601, member: 22819"] Thanks, Susie. I read your story last night and wanted to write to you today, so I was pleased to see that you saw my story too. I have worried that he was sexually abused when he was on the run. He was a very beautiful little boy and often got bullied for it. Kids would say he was gay or that he looked like a girl. He's a big guy now, and even though he's still got the eyelashes and beautiful features, he definitely can't be confused with a girl anymore. I have wondered about his sexual orientation, although he says he only likes girls (and they like him very much, a little too much). We're very open about sexuality and have told him since he was little that we are cool either way, and have been very inclusive about sexual diversity in the way we talk to him. So I'd like to think that he'd tell us, but that might just be wishful thinking. The psychiatrists haven't gotten to anything like that, but they are very worried that if he runs again, that he could get into prostitution. There's also the possibility that a friend he was hanging out with, and smoking weed with, who is gay, may have convinced him to experiment sexually with him a little. One psychologist started getting something like that out of him, but it was very unclear, and when asked, he denies it. I do wonder if something happened that made him reconsider his sexuality, and that because of all the bullying, he doesn't want to look at it. It was so sudden. I've read that cannabis can do that to some people. Why do they direct it all onto us, the people who love them the most? [/QUOTE]
