I've posted really similar things on this before: but my mom is coming to visit tomorrow and I really want to talk to her about dating. Every time I try to though, I know I have to bring up the dating girls thing which she doesn't approve of so it's almost as if I shut it out. I'm out to her.. she just doesn't agree with it. I really want to have an open conversation about it but every time I do, it's like I feel like I don't have true evidence that shows it's not a phase. Everything is really internal and in the past she told me that I was just really looking for a friend so I developed crushes on girls. It really hurts me and I don't know what else I can say to her. She doesn't believe bisexuals exist so I don't think she'd get that I'm bisexual with a preference for girls. I'm not sure what else I can say.. :/ I do feel like I need to try to be more open about it though with her and my brother, possibly come out to my dad.. I just know I really want to talk about it even if I marry a guy someday and be open with my sexuality. Idk.. I worry a lot about my family disapproving of me.. ;( more my dad than anyone.. :/ I don't want to make it seem like a big deal so my parents can push me about it. I just want to not feel like I'm hiding every time. I think what throws my family off is I didn't really start to question my sexuality till I was 18.. can anyone relate to this?
