    Your mum just needs time to get used to it. They like to imagine how our lives will play out, and it's diverted a bit from what she thought it would be! She needs time to process some worries. It's good that her reaction was 'OK' - it's a positive sign that she will support you. It was probably weird for her to see that lesbian couple the day after you told her; it brought it home, made it more of a reality. Sounds like tutting was just a knee jerk reaction. She'll come around. Maybe tell her how it hurt your feelings.

    Thank you so much its really helped me being here actually talking about it :slight_smile: I have talked to her again in the past last year actually but its like she still doesn't want to know ... Its hard not wondering if she really loves me sometimes even though I know its a silly thing to think.

    Our parents have this idea for their children that we should marry a nice man or woman settle down and have kids but it doesn't always work out that way and yea they might be disappointed but she's your mum and she loves you
