so i came out to my mam just over a month ago. I wrote her a letter but couldn't bring myself to give it to her so i sent it through a facebook message. she didn't respond to the message til 3 days later, but still communicated with me through phone text about other things. so this is the message she sent back
"i have read your message but i don't understand it...so i have spoken to a friend of mine [name] she would like to meet up with you next week on the thurs so ye can have a chat as she has spent her life as a lesbian and knows how confusing it can be..Hope that okay with you? Don't know what else to do for you and of course i love you, you are my daughter "then she didn't want to discuss it with me anymore. then she tells me
"it's not that i don't understand it's i'm uncomfortable about it all..."so out of respect i haven't brought it up in conversation again, i have tried to subtly bring it up, she was showing me a pair of jeans she got for my brother and i mentioned that i got a pair similar to them in another shop, she just paused and continued on with what she was doing. She also keeps making comments about me wanting to buy men's clothing, stuff like
"you can't wear men's clothes", "those are for men". etc
I've tried to bring it up in conversation with my Grandmother in the last few days, but she has a negative attitude towards a lot of things so I'm scared she won't react very well.
I've a family function coming up next week and I want to go dressed in the clothing i have bought, but i know if i do it'll cause an uproar, my mam keeps yapping on about me buying a nice top and skinny jeans to wear to it (feminine ones) i thought my mam would be a little more supportive even if she's not totally ok with it, i just don't know what to do anymore...
