Accepting Mum Of A Lesbian Daughter
Hi Debbie,
My name is Denise and I just found out that my 22 year old daughter (Cyndee) is a lesbian. I flat out asked her to get the awkwardness over and done with. In my heart I know I have always known. My daughter is a wonderful woman. She is going to college on a soccer scholarship. She graduates next year with 2 bachelor degrees. She has always been a honest wonderful person. I have always been so proud of her. I will always be proud of her for being true to herself and happiness.
Her partner (Molly) is also a wonderful person. I really am looking forward to having her in our life. I told my daughter that if her brother brought her home I would say “excellent choice” so why wouldn’t I say that because she brought her home. I am so looking forward to sharing this part of my daughters life. I am so happy that she has found someone that she can share her life with and be happy.
I have always been a very open minded person and have all kinds of friends. I enjoy colorful, independent, and true to their self people.
There is not a bone in my body that is upset about her choice.
In fact two weeks ago when she and Molly were over for a visit and I walked them out to say goodbye. I walked back in the house and said “what a nice looking couple” and I shook my head and said “did you really just say that”?
That’s when it hit me and I laughed out loud. Then I said should I worry about saving my wedding dress? When I told my daughter these thoughts that went through my mind we laughed together and she told me not to rule the dress out. I told her she’s right if she don’t wear it maybe Molly will. All that matters to me is her happiness.
My question is, Is it normal to be this happy? LOL!
My girl friend Debi, who is also a lesbian said I was a great mom, stop thinking and enjoy my daughter life.
There are other family members that will not be happy.
The protective mother in me wants to protect her & Molly.
How do I handle these situations?
I can have a sharp tongue , but I would like to handle it so everyone involved does not feel uncomfortable.
I look forward to hearing from you and let me say thank you now for your answers.
Thanks Again,
Denise Millang
