My son “Cordon” (15M) is a wrestler and struggles with being bipolar and bulimic. He’s been in therapy since last year after me an his mom started getting a divorce and he wasn’t taking it well. Things got so bad that he had to quit wrestling for a bit after his coach caught him throwing up in the bathroom. So far Cordon seemed to be doing better and is on meds that seem to work for him. He even started wrestling again this year.

His mom got engaged to the man she had an affair with last month and since then Cordon seems to be slipping again. I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him making himself sick and he’s been in a bit of a funk after he quit talking to one of his teammates. After one of his therapy appointments I asked his therapist about my concerns and what I could do to help more if I felt cordon was sinking again. He kinda slyly told me and my ex that maybe he might be scared of coming out us and he had a bad break up. Luckily Cordon was waiting out in the car and didn’t hear that.

I was furious not because my son is gay ,but because he didn’t get to tell me himself. I cussed his therapist out on the spot and told him how unethical it was to tell me what he and Cordon had talked about and outing a teenager. I threatened to report after he kept saying he was trying to help us out. Later my ex tells me she thinks I overreacted and that maybe it would be a good thing to be in the know without Cordon knowing. AITA ?
