Hi
Sorry for this heavy post first thing on a Sunday , lol
My sister who has been married for 10 years and had three kids has just announce that she gay and divorcing her OH and has moved her girlfriend in!!
My Daughter (20) announced yest that she too is gay and that her Dad(my ex) Brother, Auntie , Cousins all know and that I am pretty much the last to find out:cry:We get on really well after a very sticky patch around the time that me & her Dad split up. My sis told her that I would be cool with it. We have been through a lot of the usual teenage prob(dope smoking,coming home steaming drunk etc) and I never became judgmental , just handled it from a safety aspect etc)
I am devastated to think that she had to hide it from me and that she didn't feel that she could tell me . As a parent thats so hard to hear. I told her that I love her unconditionally and that I am devastated that she feels she couldnt tell me.
I told her that I supected it and she told me that if so , I should have asked her outright to make it easier for her!!! Am not sure whether she would have taken kindly to that. I don't get involved in my kids personal lives unless they approach me with a problem as I dont wanna appear nosey!!
I feel that I can't win really.
I don't know what to do now.............
Any advice would be helpful
Thanks Guys
:sigh:
