Asking Eric: I made mistakes when my gay son first got married and I apologized. I still must walk on eggshells around him
Dear Eric: My son and his husband have been married for 14 years. When they first visited, we did not want to make a great show of it or tell the greater family all at the same time. We were fearful of hurtful gossip/statements. My son and then-boyfriend took great offense at this and stopped contact with us for a while.
