Best Posts in Thread: My 17 Year Old Nephew and I Came Out To Each Other

So the most amazing and scariest thing happened a few hours ago. My nephew was having car trouble so my sister asked me to come pick him up since her and his dad were on the other side of town. When I picked him up, my phone ranged and it is connected to my car and Dame answers saying “What’s up bae....?” Not knowing I had my nephew Corey in the car. I knew then I needed to tell him what was up. We are close and I treat him like the brother I never had, than a nephew since we are 9 years apart. He comes to me for advice from time to time about relationship, sex, drugs and I was always honest with him.

So I just told him that I’m seeing a guy and I’m into guys. I told him don’t tell his mom and even told him I’ll understand if he doesn’t want to talk with me anymore. But I was shocked when he responded and said he was too. It’s like damn bro you too lol. So I texted his mom and told her we are going out for dinner because I wanted to know more. Over the course of dinner I found out he’s been with 2 guys. He told me about how he was on Grindr and Tinder and the things he did. I did tell him to be careful and try not to entertain guys 20 years old and older until he get to that age. It’s just amazing how we both going on this journey together. I really want to protect him though. I know he’s going to college in the fall but some of these guys out here are no good and straight up predators. He even let me know that my sister and his dad knows. We both assured each other that we want discussed our conversation with no one else in our family until we are ready. He even said that he had suspicions about me since I never seemed interested in the girls I was with. It made me wonder who else saw that if he at a young age can pick that up. At least I feel kinda comfortable telling my sister of my latest shenanigans lol.

 

I love this! Y'all have a new bond and you get try to guide him from avoiding with some potential pitfalls we all encounter in some form.

 

This is beautiful. Life is full of surprises.
