My husband and his family have been so supportive of my decision, but I'm doubting myself.

I’m a 28-year-old gay man recently married to a wonderful guy. We had a small wedding with close friends and his family in attendance. No one from my family was invited or informed about the wedding until afterwards. Why would they have been? When my parents found out that I had a boyfriend when I was 15, they disowned me and kicked me out the house. I lived with my boyfriend’s family until we broke up.

She and I reconnected, and she persuaded me to attend a couple of family events at which she insisted I would be welcome; she said that others would want to apologize and “make things right” with me. I went, and found that what this meant was my parents and I ignored one another while Kat and Colin enthusiastically chatted to me, acting as though nothing weird had happened. I quickly stopped attending these events and shifted to occasional polite exchanges online with them.
