Hello and welcome to my blog. I'm Vera and I'm a single mother.
Once, in a bookstore, I was just window shopping and I caught a glimpse of a book titled "How to prevent homosexuality in children." Like most parents, I would not like anything like this to happen to my son. So, I decided: why not read this book in order to try to avoid mistakes while bringing up my son.
The authors of the book are two psychologists from the United States. They dedicated several decades to research the homosexuality issues and examined many homosexuals, who turned to them for help and advice. As a result, they came to the conclusion that homosexuality, in most cases, is not an innate quality, and therefore, is subject to treatment.
This view caused a wave of criticism. I know that in the West, it is now believed that gays and lesbians are born this way because they were created by nature: consequently, homosexuality is the norm.
It is on the basis of this thesis that in several countries it is now recommended to call the father and the mother "parent 1" and "parent 2" - not to offend the families where both parents belong to the same sex.
Although I can say that I’m tolerant to LGBT and stand up against discrimination.

The main argument of the authors of the book is in favor of the fact that homosexuality is acquired, and not inborn. So all gays (not only patients of these psychologists, but also all famous personalities who told about their lives in autobiographies, letters and interviews) are united by one common feature: they all had some problems in their childhood.

In particular, they experienced a lack of psychological intimacy with the parent of their own gender. The boys either had a despotic or weak father who did not talk with him enough or the father who often was absent and did not devote his time to the son.
Another reason is that they had no father at all - or any other male relative who could be a role model and a mentor for the boy. According to this theory, there is some certain logic:
Firstly, Real Men are not born, they become the Real Men. And someone should explain this to the boy and show by his own example what it means to be a genuine, strong, brave and caring man. So it is father’s duty to teach his son how to treat a Lady and how to love a woman of his life. Secondly, not having received in the early childhood enough of psychological affinity and physical contact with his father, the boy may then, all life, look for the closeness to the father in other men. Sometimes this search leads to very sad results.
What do we, parents, especially me, a single mother, should do in order to avoid the negative consequences of improper upbringing and lack of male character in the family?
I'm interested in your opinion on this issue. I'm waiting for your replies.
Yours Vera… Your Hope
