When Michael became a teenager he moved in with his dad. I knew they were derogatory terms but didn’t know exactly what they meant. I would often hear my dad make comments to my mom calling David gay slurs. Once we got old enough to realize things it came out that David was gay and that was the reason for the divorce. His dad David would pick up Michael and he would see him only on the weekends. We would still often do things with Michael and his mother Tina. When Michael and I were 9 his parents divorced and Michaels dad was no longer around for the family get together.
Family vacations, day trips, and sporting events were pretty regular. My name is Nicolas but my friends call me Nick.
