My friend has a prison boyfriend

I have this friend. When he was 16, before i met him, he brought a boy home and his dad did not like it. So he started dating girls instead. I don't know how much that was him repressing his sexuality or not. But i met him at 17 when he was dating girls. Now, he's 23, and i'm 28. I think his dad made him repress his sexuality. He would never say that, as he is an only child and his mom abandoned him and his dad when he was like 1 to go do drugs and stuff, so he really doesn't want to lose him.

He got arrested and had some hard drugs on him. So he went to jail. He's getting clean based on the letters i got where the handwriting is getting noticeably better, and based on the phone calls where he seems less all over the place. But recently he told me, and his boyfriend sent me a letter, that the two are dating.

I have so many concerns. Did he repress himself and now doesn't? Is this guy he met healthy for him? They met in prison. that's not a great place to meet people. How will his dad react? Did he get into drugs in a bad way because he was a repressed homosexual?

I don't know. But i didn't know where else to share a story about something like this. I feel like it's a statement about why parents should be accepting because it can drive kids down a dark road. I hope every day that he will get out and be ok. Maybe smoke a little weed on the weekends, or something like that, but be happy in his life where he doesn't need to be spun out on meth (his drug of choice) all the time to the point where he's awake for a week straight to feel ok.
