Family, it either molds or breaks you.  Both MCs Will and Ryan have experienced it, but more toward the latter.  In Will case, it was mended.  As for Ryan's, it was totally destroyed ad his parents kicked him out.  I came out to my mother first when I was already moved out of the house (so they can't kick me out).  I made sure that I was sufficiently independent when I made the move.  After that, it started spreading to my whole family.  Talk about me being gay is taboo in the family.  I decided one day that I cut my ties off from my family totally, and from then on, it had been seven years that I'd been estranged from them.  My father died without me having to reconcile with him.  I did not go to his wake and funeral.  Growing up I really hated my father, more so knowing that he was unfaithful to my mother.  So, reading this story actually made me cry.  I felt sad, especially with the holiday season coming that I'm still estranged with my family.  My reasons are self preservation and may be some pride.  I'm glad that in the ending, all conflicts were resolved.
