Hello, I am hoping I'm putting this in the right section. I googled for a christian forum and this website popped up. I am a single mother of one, a 16 year old boy. His father left when he was 11 and since then I have been raising him on my own. I try to raise him to be a very good christian, but some things are hard as a single mother.
I'm not sure of his faith, he seems to be uncomfortable talking about God. He goes to church and youth group, but doesn't really participate. The youth pastor has told me maybe to look in to finding a christian counselor for him. Though his faith isn't really the reason of this post. I am completely lost and unsure what to do, I've been praying and thinking and so lost as of what to do.
Over the summer I noticed him reading a book. He rarely reads what he is suppose to in school, but now he is reading on his own time. I didn't really think that much of it when I saw the front and that it was what looked like a football book. Since he has always been pretty in to sports. It also had animals on the front cover that were kind of like people animals sort of like that movie Zootopia from earlier in that year, a sort of animal football something, and I know he loves animals too, so again, it didn't really give me any suspicions.
What did give me a bit of suspicions was that he was almost hiding the book. And gave me off handed answers when I enquired about what he was reading. After a week or so I guess he finished the book cause I didn't see it anymore and he was just back to playing video games. But then around the end of November a box showed up with his name on it. I try to respect privacy, so I told him something came for him and then asked what it was. He just told me it was some books. I never noticed the first book coming in a box, it might have arrived while I was out one day, I just assumed he got it from the library. I didn't actually see the books in the box, or even him read them at any point.
Again, I didn't think much of it, mostly because I was really busy at the start of December. But today when I was in his room to take down the lights on the window, he came in and got all paranoid, asking what I was doing and insisting he can just do it himself, even though I had been asking for days for him to take them down.
I'm almost ashamed with myself for what I did later, but he had been planning with a couple friends from school to go see the new star wars tonight, and while he was out, I snooped around his room. I didn't really see anything odd, but what was odd was I kept thinking about those books, because I couldn't find them anywhere. In his sidetable, there is a drawer, and in the far back of the drawer under some junk I found 5 books. I didn't know why he hid them, and was now very suspicious. So I read the back of one of them and just began to shake...
The back said "The playoffs are here, and Dev Miski's life has never been busier. If the Chevali Firebirds want to win their first championship, he'll need to play the best football of his life. But, as the only gay professional football player, he's beset by distracting demands for commercials and interviews. The number one distraction, though, is his boyfriend Lee. After the fox's mother joins a religious anti-gay group, Lee turns back to the gay activism of his college days. He pushes Dev to use his celebrity to reach out to gay youth, but only succeeds in starting bigger arguments. When their relationship faces its most difficult test, will their love for each other triumph?"
At that point I was feeling ill. I flipped through it and noticed it had pictures. Normal ones, like a some football tackle, but I flipped by one of a very detailed oral sexual act.
I put them back in the drawer and almost felt myself having a panic attack. I googled the Author and wanted to read up about just what these books were about. Basically they are about a humanoid tiger and a humanoid fox that are both male and in a relationship. I read that they are "Very Adult" and have detailed descriptions and illustrations of M/M romance. Found the title of another book by the author called, "Losing my Religion." Which again says online that it is Adult and has detailed descriptions of M/M scenes. Though I didn't see that book in his drawer.
As panicked I am about the homosexual characters and the fact the books have adult scenes, I'm even more scared about that thing about the "Foxes mother joins a religious anti-gay group." I presume that means the books are strongly against religion.
I don't know what to do, I don't want to think that he's gay, I wish I hadn't looked around in his room. What even would be a suitable punishment for something like this? I don't want those books in my house, but I don't know what to do about them. I can't even sleep knowing those are in the other room. He came in from the movie and I just told him to go to sleep, and since have been in my room. I'm wondering if this is because he doesn't have an adult male figure in his life, that he is looking at men. This is so hard for me to type, I keep getting horrible images in my head of him reading those books. From the picture I saw they seem very inappropriate contentographic.
Please help me. I'm praying and searching for an answer, but I need help. Has anyone gone through any of this at all? Have any of you heard of this series and can tell me how against religion it is? I found it on Amazon, which disturbs me that they sell such things. Uncovered: Kyell Gold: 9781936689392: Amazon.com: Books
Tomorrow is the start of the weekend, I'm going to be looking for christian counselors and calling around the church too. Do any of you have any suggestions about how I should go about this.
