I came out a few months after getting married to a guy. All in all the marriage lasted six months that is from wedding date to divorce date.
I came out to my parents and informed them that I had found someone who made me extremely happy and was everything I had ever dreamed of. That person was not my husband, but a woman and that I was in a relationship with her.
My parents do not under any circumstances want to meet her. We have gone through some shaky times since she as I are both the type that are family oriented and I have met her family, but she never mine. This is ongoing for now a little over 2 years.
Recently she told me that I dont stand up for her although I have had arguments with my parents about them not accepting me or her.
What are some of your experiences and how can I bring some peace to the situation?
I gotg blessed with a supportive family, but unfortunately my fiance has some trouble with her parents, she is 28 and has ben having these troubles since she was 16, her parents told her she could be awarded to the courts. but her parents are coming along. Something that might be nice for your mom is to give her the book ellen degenerous' mom wrote about her daughters coming out and how she responded and how she is today. It is a book that helped open my fiances moms eyes and i think an inspiration to many other mothers with gay children. All you can do is give it time and let your parents know (and show them) how happy you are and its not going to change. You are still the same daughter you have always been it does not change you, and their love for you should not change either! keep your head up things will get better. Time and patience is key. good luck to you god bless
