My daughter told me she is bisexual. I’m totally fine with that. Unfortunately as much as I love my family they are very religious and would not accept her. They can be very harsh and she is such a tender hearted person. Even her dad would be bad about it. We won’t tell family until absolutely necessary. It’s just So much pressure for a sweet girl.

I’m glad at least she has your support. I’m sure it means a lot to her.

Just continue being supportive. The most important thing to a child is their mother’s love and support. That can bouy them through almost anything.

I’m sorry she won’t have as much family support as she should. At least she will have you.
Nobody in my family wanted to hear me come out except my brother and sister. My dad told me if I was gay, that would be fine, but bisexual girls were just slutty and indiscriminate. It had a bad impact on me, and I didn’t try coming out again until he was dead and I was living several states away.

I’m glad that you are supportive @FatMama, but eventually your family will have to know.
I mean this would be the fair thing to do.

I don’t think she HAS to tell the family. It’s her choice.

Yeah but it would be nice if everyone was on board in a perfect world.
But unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world.
Yeah I know.

I hope things go well. I know what living with a homophobe is like, it certainly isn’t easy.
There is a forum called Empty Closets Forum (you can google it) that is for youths. I don’t know if I’m breaking a rule suggesting it, it is geared towards youths who need support with coming out as anything LGBT. I assume it’s heavily moderated (which is a good thing).
Being able to talk to someone, anyone, in any capacity about these feelings without experiencing bigotry is a great thing.
