For those of you with unsupportive parents
How have you dealt with it over the years? Especially if you have figured that your parents are unlikely to change. I don’t know, I am 20F and have been thinking about my girlfriend and I’s future and I guess what that would look like once we eventually live together. Luckily I am in America where, as of right now, I can marry who I want, so it’s not like my parents can control that anyways. They know I am bisexual but they expect me to “grow out of it” and still try to treat it like nothing to take seriously and that it’s just a phase….even though I’ve been out for 5 years.
But I know either way, my evangelical conservative parents won’t accept my queer identity now, or in the near future if they see I am seriously committed to my partner.
For anyone who had to deal with stuff like this, what worked best for your individual situation? Did that look like cutting contact? Setting boundaries?
