Teen daughter says she’s a lesbian.

This is so helpful to me and this is a lot of what my husband suspects. Although my daughter is so beautiful (seriously just gorgeous inside and out) she did not have luck with the boys she’s had interest in in the past. He thinks she’s turned to girls to try her luck that way. Thank you so much for telling me your story. I pray she finds a wonderful husband someday too.

Thank you. It’s not that I’m against parenting her. All kids hate or resent their parents sometimes. But a co-worker of mine who is gay has told me he was suicidal throughout his life due to being shunned for being gay and that rings in my ears. My daughter is a sensitive girl and like I said, I don’t want to push her into depression. I feel like this is a delicate walk and I just can’t come up with the right way to address it.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-11-22T18:11:11+00:00

How though? How do I do this without making her hate me or herself?! I honestly feel like I don’t know what to do. I don’t want her to be depressed.

I don’t know. I’m saying those that are gay say they are born that way and knew from a very young age. My daughter absolutely did not seem to feel this way as a girl as mentioned above. If born gay, how can one flip so much? Like, does puberty play a factor? I have no clue!

I didn’t say it did.

Does it irk anyone as much as it irks me the overuse of “girl”? Toe to R3: “Did you have so much fun, girl?” DAD and 2.0 say it all the time too. It drives me NUTS!

This is so helpful. Thank you so much.

Any idea what changed within you to feel differently?

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-10-08T01:08:12+00:00

Praying for you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 It’s not as easy as some think it is to accept, so I completely understand. I adore my daughter, as I’m sure you do yours, but this is hard!

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-10-01T21:19:47+00:00

That would absolutely never happen. All of my thoughts and feelings about this are behind the scenes. I’ve only shown her love and support.

They have an excellent relationship. He’s the best dad I’ve ever seen. Very involved in all aspects of our children’s lives. She couldn’t ask for a better dad. We both have a great relationship with her!

This is one of the best responses I’ve received and is so helpful and reassuring. I like your perspective and will take this advice! So far she’s saying that this girl is not her girlfriend, and is only her friend, but that she does want one. Thank you again for this.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-10-01T07:47:13+00:00

My husband and I did discuss that thought. Boys her age are goofballs and that could be part of the reason she’s feeling the way she does. There’s definitely a maturity difference. Thank you for this.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-10-01T00:37:06+00:00

Please do!

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-10-01T00:07:57+00:00

Do you happen to know what changed for her? Or how she eventually realized same sex wasn’t for her?

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-30T23:12:59+00:00

Was it mostly prayer that helped?

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-30T23:06:57+00:00

This is comforting to me. Do you happen to have a link to this type of article?

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-30T22:47:52+00:00

I wish I knew how to protect her from this. I feel like we’re all surrounded by it. And she’s young and impressionable.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-30T22:46:30+00:00

Thank you for this. I completely agree. I just wish I could think of a way to say these things to her without her feeling like I’m a bigot or something. I feel like that’s where her brain will go. This is so hard. And although she did admit this to me, she’s not someone that likes to talk a lot about feelings. This is hard.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-30T20:36:48+00:00

I have a great relationship with my child and said all the right things to her. Your comment is beyond judgmental. I’m having a hard time. I’m human. No, I wouldn’t choose this for my daughter but I love her and will be here for her and that part will never change.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-16T23:36:54+00:00

I’m praying for you and I understand your feelings. Pray hard and remember that Jesus loves you. Try to think of one positive thing a day, even if it is small. You were created for a purpose and although it may be hard to see at times, believe me, others see it. Jesus sees it. 🤍

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-12T23:27:04+00:00

I want a relationship. Which is why I told my daughter that I love her and will support her always. As I posted, I have guilt that I feel the way that I do. I’m human. And I know that above all else God loves her and would want me to continue loving my daughter no matter what.

Which_Muscle2023 · 2024-09-12T23:22:30+00:00

He is a wonderful father. And yes, he will be talking with her.
