Yeah, my son is the only person I'm worried about telling. His mother (not my wife) had him when we were 17. He'll be 17 in April, and his mother is the absolute worst person I know. Abusive, vindictive, hateful, bigoted. I haven't actually exchanged words with her in three years, since the most recent custody fight.
I'm concerned that when she finds out, she'll find a way to impede my progress. Right now, she can still come after me for child support (which I'm not paying as the result of the last court order), which wouldn't ruin us financially, but would impact what's available in the budget and slow me down.
Thankfully, my wife and I have always had a very good relationship with him, and he seems to be taking after us in terms of LGBT acceptance, which leaves me hopeful that I'll continue to have a relationship with him. I'm preparing myself to be disappointed.
