Mother thinks I'm delusional and my sexuality will change

You’ve told her the truth – what more can you do?

You can’t control what she chooses to believe or what she chooses not to believe. The only thing you can control is what you believe. Now that you’ve told her, why waste another moment worrying about something that is completely out of your control?

You should be proud that you had the courage to share an authentic part of yourself with her.

It’s only been two weeks. She’s probably going through a process of her own – a process that obviously involves an element of denial.

Give her a little time. Time has a way of softening even the most stubborn of people.

In the meantime, be happy with who you are and know that your happiness and your identity doesn’t have to be conditional on her acceptance or her validation.

I imagine that someday you’ll have a girl to bring home – someone you want to share with your family. Despite her avoidance, she would be forced to confront reality at that point.

Best of luck.

 

Tbh I am kind of in the same boat as you.

I didn't came out to parents, but they found out becuase I was wearing a pride bracelet in public and I didn't really think they would notice.

They both say that this isn't me and that I'll find a great guy one day and finding a guy will take time and all that stuff. I started to believe them just a bit becuase I never been with a guy before so my feelings for girls kind of went away for a little bit after that.

Then, for some reason, my feelings for girls came back with a hard slam of a door. And I was starting to believe that maybe it's just possible that I am Pansexual instead of lesbian instead. And so, I had this background picture of the pink, yellow and blue for pansexuals on my phone, and one day my mom saw it and we all had this huge argument about it and mom and dad insisted that I was not a lesbian or that I like girls.

After that, in my mind I'm just like"I don't care what they might know about me. This is my life, it's freaking 2016 and I can date whoever I want."

I try to tell myself that everyday and there are times where I doubt about myself but I tell myself to take one step at a time.

Things will get better for you. I am sure of it. You can tell your mom again if you want to or maybe even wait until after college but do you want to do and jus twice your life whether your mom likes it or not. You deserve to be happy no matter who you love
