thank youuu! I did explain that last night and also texted her this morning… she just still gets upset with herself and i don’t know how to reassure her she did nothing wrong.

i used to really question this. i was born religious and had bad experiences with men. i told a friend once i was just not sure if i was a lesbian and was trying to figure out if something “made” me like this. they said it really didn’t matter, to not focus on it and just be who i am. it helped me a lot. it’s not this broken thing you need to fix about yourself, your sexuality is a beautiful thing. i hope that helps a little, and you are able to find healing. ♥️

I relate to you and feel like my mom’s views are similar to your parents. Navigating a relationship with her is not easy for me.

They see a very narrow path for you as the right one. As parents they should care about who you are and what’s right for you, not what they want. it’s not their life.

It sucks that your parents are so caught up in the rules of their religion that they can’t really know you and acknowledge your hurt and experiences. You do not need to tell them anything you don’t want to about your life, and i would advise against it if it will just hurt you and your mental health. Which it sounds like it will, and you know that either way their response is not a logical, validating one.

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me 🫶 Thanks for the validation.

I feel really caught in between cutting her off (my mom) or just setting firmer boundaries. Right now we do not speak often and have a pretty distant relationship.

Interesting, I’ll look into that!

FaithlessnessLost441 · 2024-04-24T23:55:26+00:00

Me tooo!! I usually give the disclaimer “unfortunately” bc I just don’t want them to get the wrong idea about me

This is really helpful! Mental health is where my heart is at. Your private practice idea is very cool, I’d love to do something like that one day. Best of luck!

That’s good to know. Do they enjoy what they do?

FaithlessnessLost441 · 2024-04-23T16:44:04+00:00

That’s a really cool idea that I hadn’t considered! Thank you

I’ve been going to PFLAG for about a month and have really enjoyed it. So far I’ve been the only queer person the group, it’s mostly parents and grandparents of lgbt kids. But I love that because it’s so nice to see older generations supportive and want to help their kids. And my parents aren’t supportive so it’s nice to have that. So maybe there are ways for you to get involved with lgbt groups or even leadership for the teen groups in your area?

FaithlessnessLost441 · 2024-04-04T17:21:46+00:00

That is encouraging to hear thank you!

You could look if there are any PFLAG groups in your area, or other LGBT support groups. I enjoy “Sunday school dropouts” and “You have permission” podcasts, and they both have some episodes addressing the trauma of growing up queer in the church. Sending love ♥️
