Farewell: My daughter came out!

Discussion in 'For Parents and Family Members of LGBT People' started by ConcernedMother, Feb 6, 2013.

  1. A while ago, I asked for advice about my daughter. For those of you who didn't see my previous posts, I had found out that she is a lesbian when I was using her computer and this forum popped up.

    Your advice was to show my support and let her come to me when she was ready, and she finally came out to me this weekend! I hugged her and told her I loved her while she cried and told me she was sorry. Once I reassured her that this doesn't change anything, we had a good long talk about everything she was feeling. I'm just so glad that everything is out in the open now. She still isn't ready to tell her father, but at least she knows I'm here for her when she does decide to tell him.

    This post is to thank everyone on this site for giving me such wonderful advice and support and to say farewell to all of you. My daughter uses this forum for support, and I don't want to intrude on her thing anymore than I already have, so I'll be closing my account once I post this. Once again, thank you and good-bye.

    You sound like an amazing mother, your daughter is lucky to have you! I also think it's great that you respect your daughter's privacy and will close your account for her.

    I wish you and your family the best!
