I gave my mom a book called LOVING SOMEONE GAY. I took the liberty of highlighting parts I felt were relevant. Ultimately, you have to live your life. It is, after all, your life.

there isn't any real way to answer your question. for instance, in my case my mom hates me as a lesbian but loves me as her daughter. she has flat out told me that if i have a relationship she better not ever hear anything about it. she won't talk to me or anyone else about it, she hasn't progressed since the day i told her, but the only thing that keeps me from crying about it is i can always think, 'it could be worse. she could have thrown me out, she could've have hated me, she could have killed me.' yeah, it's not so great in terms of moral support but my sister accepts me as a lesbian so i've decided that that's all i really need. i only need to have one person who accepts me at a time. really that's all that anyone needs so just ask yourself if you are serious enough about alexandra that you will be able to face your mother on this. even if she takes it badly she'll still love you as her daughter because you aren't any different from the person you were before you told her.

I had the same problem with my Mom years ago. I told her that I was a lesbian and that I wasn't going to change for her or anyone. I know it was tough for her (I am her only daughter), but she survived. Live your life the way you see fit.

I understand exactly how you feel, My mother is very strict and religious, since I have come out to her she has hated the fact of my sexuality, and would call the police if i ever showed up on her doorstep, to make matters worse she tuned the entire of my relatives against me, so I now have 3 family members, me, my wife and my son, the main reasoning for her rection would be shock, she probably always pictured you in a white dress walking up to the alter to a man and producing grandchildren, there are to many possibilities, what I like to say is, Im not hurting anyone, im no rapist, no axe murderer or thief, so im not hurting anyone, this isnt a life style choice but part of who i am, you loved me before you knew, so why can't you now? Nothings changed and i am just being honest and want your acceptance .Hope this helps, if you ever want to ask me anything email me at mummas1@hotmail.com GOODLUCK!

It is possible that those close to you may never accept your lifestyle. I have been a lesbian all my life and in the beginning my mother did not accept my lifestyle nor my partner. I have been with my partner for 18 years now. But what you have to realize is that you must make yourself happy not others. When I first told my mother she did not speak to me for 2 years. That was her loss. The main reason we did not speak was because she wanted to include me in family outings, but wanted me to leave my partner at home. I could not agree to this so we were estranged for two years. She eventually came around but it was on her own terms. My mother lived her life and made her choices and will tell the world she has no regrets. Well I intend to do the same. All I need is the love that my partner and I share, who agrees or does not agree has the problem not me. and it is not my duty to try and convince them otherwise.

Live your life for you not for others.
