Sister found out and took my nephews

Well, I can tell you firsthand that there's nothing wrong with being bisexual. I think for you to deny your feelings due to another person's ignorance is wrong. These are your feelings and you should not let anyone make you feel bad about how you feel. And I cannot believe she's stooping so low that she is willing to use her own her kids against you. If anything, she is the one guilty of wrongdoing by keeping them from you, especially when there's something to be learned here. And that's to accept everyone and treat them equally; something they will not learn from their own mother unfortunately.

I guess the best thing you could do is to keep your distance from her for while. My sister treated me differently when I first came out and we hardly ever talked, even though we lived under the same roof. However, things are okay between us now, so I'm sure she will come around. Just give her time, maybe you can even educate her a bit, good luck

 

Honey,those kids will be reised to be homophobic.
Don't try to change for them,because it will never work.
There will be one day that they will need your help,they will see how it goes.

 

Huge hugs, that must be so painful xxxxx

 

I am really really sorry to hear that, your sister is acting that way, and keeping your nephews away from you. That's got to be really painful. But you know what? Just hold your head up. Be who you are. You have a right to be yourself, and you have a right to be happy. Hopefully, your sister will come around soon, and realize that the person/people she will be hurting the most are those two little boys. Stay strong, you are worth it!

 

I'm so sorry. It's hard being rejected by family like that. Maybe some time and space will help. People from very religious families have a hard time wrapping their minds around homosexuality. They think it's so wrong and deviant that no one they love could possibly be gay. Maybe if they just pray hard enough you will be straight...I watched a coming out video recently and the woman in it gave the advice to give people time when they reject you for coming out. She said something like, "It took you time to accept it within yourself, give them time to accept it." You sister may be the one rejecting you and taking your nephews away but she is going to feel the pain from that as well. She's going to miss you. Maybe the pain from that will help her come around once she realizes you really can't change.

 

just keep holding on

 

Hi sweetheart (*hug*),

I'm terribly sorry at your sister's reaction. This must be very painful for you to go through rejection from your awn siblings. You just have to remember that the only person's happiness you're responsible for is yours. You can't throw away your own happiness just to conform to what your family thinks is acceptable. If they have an issue with the fact you're bi, that's their issue, not yours and you don't have to sacrifice yourself for them. You have only one life and you should try to live it to the fullest. What your family is supposed to want for you is happiness. If they prefer you to be miserable for them not to have to deal with their own prejudice and misconceptions, that's too bad for them but there is no way you have to sacrifice yourself for them to not be uncomfortable. If they can't be happy with the wonderful daughter, sister and aunt they've got with you, that's their loss but you can't make yourself unhappy just for their sake (if comforting someone in their homophobic misconceptions can be consider "sake").
Take good care of yourself (*hug*), Cécile

 

Yeah I feel the same way sometimes. I just told my dad a few days ago about wanting to be a trans woman, and he rejected it pretty bad. Told me to see a therapist... and yet, I've had the thought of him being right cross my mind sometimes, even though I've felt this for a few years now. I'm glad you know what you're doing is right keep it up!
