I am not homophobic (am I?). In fact, I pride myself in being open-minded, for embracing adversity. So, why can't I be excited and happy for my daughter when she tells me of a new (female) relationship? It's not that I ever think less of her girl friends than I do her boy friends. I love and respect all of her friends, just as I love and

You're not alone

Miss Dottie--

Concerning Blyss. (our common link)

If it's any consolation, I feel that the reason I'm not so quick to embrace homosexual relationships is because I will never understand them, and it hurts that I can't share in the experiences of a friend. I don't feel I can support a same-sex relationship becuase I don't know what it's like. I don't and probably won't be able to understand why Blyss feels just as passionately about a girl as she does about a guy. Frienship is supposed to be rooted on common ground, and it's unnerving when it's not.

I hope your sons work out their lives. You've done your part and raised them as best you could.

Thanks. I know that it's hard for Blyss when I can't share in her excitement; oh well. Most importantly, I want all of my kids to be happy and successful...and I use the term "success" rather loosely according to current social standards! If a person can achieve their dreams and live life happy in their own skin, that, to me, is success. Have a great week!

You're amazing, to be able to keep a positive attitude about everything. Switching your view on something, especially something that is not completely excepted in society, takes a LONG time to get used to. :) I miss you and I wish we could bake cookies.

Hey, we must be on at the same time, cuz I just responded to Harmonie's reply and then there was one from you!! I miss you too. VERY MUCH! Hope school is going well for you. What are your plans for summer?
LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER-

(this is sort of back tracking, but I thought I'd say something anyway)

It's not uncommon for parents to, "mourn" their childs life as a conventional straight couple. It's good that you've recognized that.
