She did not see her son for four years. They did talk but there was anger when she tried to share information. They could not talk about homosexuality or religion. Bert feels in many ways she drove her son away because she was trying to bring him back to what is true. She feels you have to love them through it.
Parents do have to make tough decisions though.
Especially when their child has a same-sex partner and wants to come visit. Recently her son has been to visit the family and was warmly welcomed. He has realized his family still loves him. Bert s deepest desire is that her son become a Christian. He has begun asking questions about her beliefs.
