my family will not talk to me. i've texted my mom several times, and nothing. (yes, i know mother/daughter texting is very strange, but we used to do it everyday!) i haven't mustered up the strength to actually call home, but i have a feeling they wouldn't answer anyway. when i saw that my mom read the e-mail, i IMed her shortly after and she said

I honestly wish I could tell you what was wrong with your mother. In my mind, there is nothing to think about. You are her child. You were once a part of her body, but are supposed to be forever a part of her heart. She should love and support you unconditionally, no matter what. Gay, straight, bi, trans-gender. Whatever.

If my son grows up to be gay, I will love and support him still. Hell, I'd take him out scoping for men. LOL.

I'm hoping she'll come around. Christmas is a time of reflection and such. I honestly don't think your family should be having such a hard time with this revelation. Maybe if this was 1950. But, this is 2004.

**Hugs** and lots of ♥ and some turkey baster lovin!

hey--I've been through the same thing, it takes a lot of time and if they love you as much as you say they will love every part of you. adjusting is hard, I guess my advice to you is when they do come around to talk about it answer their questions ask them questions as to what they want from you and you will want to bring marica around since they know but they will either take her in or tell you not yet and the worst thing you could to is push this change on them it might make it worse, so basically until they are ready to bring it up then talking about it at first might not be such a good idea......things will all fall into place and your mom and you might be even closer in the end and your dad will still call you buttercup and your brother will always see you as his carebear I promise you, they just have to realize that you are not changed as a person, you have just changed who you want to fall in love with someone you care about deeply and it happens to be a girl

good luck and keep your head up if you ever need to talk I'm always

Sending lots of love your way...

I am sorry to hear that things went this way for you. I give you lots of credit for even having the nerve to say something, and as far as I am concerned, your Mom should take that into consideration. There are so many of us (myself in cluded) that are too scared to "come out" to our famillies and friends because it is not socially acceptable and we fear the rejection. Good luck, you should be proud of yourself, because I am proud of you...my prayers are with you.

*sigh*

Well first off the text messaging your mom isn't weird, my mom and I do that too. I guess our relationship with our mothers is freakishly alike seeing as how we have the same nickname.

Secondly, I feel for you. While I can't truly relate to what you're going through I know it must be hard. I honestly think you'll hear from your mother before Christmas though. You're still her baby, and if she is like my mom...it doesn't matter what you did or didn't do...Christmas is about family.

I wish you the best of luck and I'm sure things will begin to go on a better track <3 Good luck hun!!!

i wish i had some words of comfort for you right now.
when my uncle came out to my grandma and grandpa it was really really hard on the both of them...but that is understandable...they are OLD!
it took years for them to accept it..and just recently my uncle and his husband have made leaps and bounds with my gram.

i wish a magic wand could just be waved and everything be right for you.

just give it a little time... im sure everything will come into place.

your love for eachother..both you and your family and you and marcia are strong and together you will over come anything.
