I have always had a very open dialogue with my father. He came out to me a couple of years ago, and recently he came out to my younger sister as well.
"I went through a good scary set of stages with myself, and I am still trying to understand how I feel and how to help my dad. (I am still not 100 percent comfortable with dropping the dad part, unfortunately. The idea brings me to tears.)
