When family relationships become cautious after major revelations

My dad and I have barely spoken since I came out two years ago—not because he was awful about it, but because he clearly doesn't know what to say and I don't know how to help him learn. We love each other but every conversation feels awkward and careful, like we're afraid of saying the wrong thing and making it worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love persists but fluency has been lost, leaving both people fluent in silence but struggling with the words that might rebuild intimacy.
