How can I get my mom to accept me?

Just let her take time to accept it and its upto u how much time is allowed ,if she doesn't match up to ur expectations . Then simply cut her out of ur life but do what u want to do

 

I am so, so sorry at how she's reacting. I really don't know what to say besides that I'm here and I care.

 

My mum said the same thing about having been "brainwashed" by the media etc. and honestly, it's because she doesn't understand. Something that might help is to sit down and talk to her about how you feel, or if that is too difficult (which is understandable), you could write her a letter explaining everything and helping her to understand.

On the other hand, you could just wait for her to come around. Like Chip said, people take different amounts of time to process and accept things, and although it may take a long time with your mum, she's probably giving it a lot of thought and one day she'll accept you. After all, she is your mum and she does love you, and one day she'll realise that you being gay can't be changed. Patience

 

You should tell your Mom that the reason you are a Lesbian is because you want to live life happy, and living life happy means being a Lesbian. This is the way you choose to live. Nothing will change your Sexuality. Also tell your Mom that you want her to accept you.

I hope this helps.

 

My mom had the same reaction at first...but 4 years later she's come full circle and accepted it. I hope it doesn't take you as long, but there's not much you can do other than confront her. Tell her that this is not a choice, and that you were born a lesbian. Make sure she understands that you don't need or want to change because you're happy with who you are. Tell her you love her and would like for her to accept this, and make sure she knows you're still the same daughter she's always had. I hope this was helpful. Good luck.

 

Sorry to hear mate. Just give her time. If she decides to cause grief in your life for it, you will have to cut yourself off and live your life. My wife had to cut herself off from all of her relatives as they were rather evil to her.

 

I am sorry to hear about your experience. My mom and dad both told me that they thought they might have "done something wrong" to make me gay so I definitely feel your pain. My parents are fully supportive now, but still say a few insensitive things from time to time. Parents mainly react like that because of a combination of ignorance and fear. You have to keep in mind that she doesn't know what it is like to be gay. There may be a few things that you have to explain to her. For example, you should probably talk to her and explain that you were born this way and nothing is wrong with you. You were just made to love a certain set of people the same way that she was and that your sexual identity will not change. She is probably afraid for the life you will live and the hatred you will inevitably have to face, which is why she reacted negatively. Most parents want a good life for their kids and being gay is just a harder life to live with many more logistical and emotional issues. I don't agree with the people that suggested cutting her out of your life. She is your mom no matter what and I don't think that is the answer. You really just need to have a serious conversation with her about your feelings and about her hurtful comments. More than likely you will have to have more than one of these conversations with her, but it is worth it to have her in your corner. You have to stay strong no matter what her reaction is though and know that you were made perfectly the way that you are.
