Daily Life Post Announcement

After his initial 'coming out' we had several months of a somewhat normal home life. Rick appeared to be abiding by our standards; obeying rules, keeping curfew as well as going to church with us. But I think we knew it was just surface obedience and not real change. We had no real hope that he he would renounce this lifestyle and return to the way things were before.

It wasn't long before things started to fall apart. He just couldn't maintain the facade. More than once we found him locked in his room with another boy. He was sneaking them in through his bedroom window. We knew he was bringing drugs and alcohol into our home and we also found inappropriate movies he brought into our home. His attitude also changed, he became more defiant and less willing to do what we asked.
