I know I've already posted but it's really been on my mind today. My mums eldest brother distanced himself from the family years ago. He completely cut contact with everyone. Years went by until out of the blue in my mum received a call to say he was dead. He'd walked out in front of a bus in Leeds centre.
My mum told me years later she believes he struggled with his sexuality, talking to some friends who she met at his funeral and stayed in touch with he was HIV positive. I think seeing what Tanya's been going through has brought that time back up although tbh I was only 10 (1992)when he died and I barely knew him. I remember watching It's a sin, that also made me really think him. Thank you if you've read this far, not entirely sure why I'm sharing with strangers on the Internet but you're my people and sometimes it's good to air these things.
RIP Peter B and condolences to Tanya and family.
