Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live

radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM

Triumph 111.

Pat welcome to the program.

Thank you, Dr Laura, for taking my call.

You are very welcome.

So I am a 52-year-old independent woman. I am in a lesbian relationship. My question to you, I need

your advice, your opinion. I am not out to my family although a sibling is very suspicious. My father

is in good help but he is in his early 90s.

The way we were raised in the Southern Baptist Church,

it would not be, I think it would disappoint him if I came out and said that I am in a

lesbian relationship. I have had to hide my relationship because of my previous employment.

However, now I do not have to and I'm just feeling burden.

Maybe I feel guilty that I haven't said to dad this is who I truly am although he may

suspect that he's never said anything so just need your advice.

First of all, we'll take down your name, number, your address, your Social Security

number and everything else because if you do tell your dad and he never had that idea. I'll give you 10 bucks. He knows. Okay.

One of the earliest papers I wrote I didn't do too many papers.

In fact, I think I did one.

So I was one.

And I did research on if parents knew.

And when they knew and how they knew.
