Hi,

I think it may just take time. Let your mom know that you are still the same person. I would also lay off the moving out part of it until she comes to terms with your relationship more. Take it one step at a time. You could also try to find PFLAG (parents and friends of lesbians and gays) meetings near you, so she could meet with other parents who have gay or bisexual kids. It may help her to know she’s not alone.

Good luck.

Dear iluvcayla1, The reality is your mother may not ever accept it. You must have felt that there was some hope she would or you would have not told her…so sit with mom and find out just what is so disturbing to her….she’s afraid she won’t have grandchildren? The church objects? Afraid you’ll never be happy? Her anger probably comes from fear so have a talk with her on a mature level…she isn’t being a bi**h she is probably afraid. She will not be the only one you will find opposition about your preference. Learning how to deal with your mother calmly and maturely and learning to deal with rejection is something you need to address. Sue…good luck
