  hey there

  
  

  so ive only just joined this site (litterally)

  
  

  ive came out as bi sexual last july to my friends, and my parents in september ad eventually my sister just after christmas.

  
  

  thing is, my mum cant seem to acept it.she wont let me say anyting which would even slightly reffer to the fact i am bi sexual. the restof my family seems fine and will have a laugh with me about it, but she glared t me the last time i was having a converstaion in the living room with my step dad saying i disagreed with his taste on a particular actres, and surley (insert dif actres) ws much hotter.

  
  

  she cant seem to acept it and seems to be convinced, or trying to convince herself its just a phase.

  
  

  ive known for almost 7 years that im bi . however she keeps turning anything i say into "so you not sure" or just avoid any conversations.

  
  

  we used to have a realy open and honest relationship, but now i feel that when im arround her i have to hide a part of who i am, a part i fianly felt able to acept and share,and it hurts like mad that she doesnt seem to accept this.

  
  

  i had planned origananly not to tell her unless i got into a serious relationship with a girl, but i couldnt stand even that as i wanted to be open.

  
  

   

  
  

  can anyone give me dvice on how to deal with her/the situation.

  
  

  i miss being able to talk to her, and not being able to tell her when i like a girl, or anything pertaining to it its starting to get me down.

  
  

  i know i should just wait and see. give her time but, is there anything i could do in the mean time?

  
  

  thanks in advance

  
  

  sincerly

  
  

  Esme

  its a toughy....I don't think it's necessary to force the subject unless your in a serious relationship with a female, I think in my opinion, your just gona have to let her come to terms with it in time....for now just try focusing on the support and acceptance you get from the rest of your family and maybe direct conversation with your mum to different subjects or things you used to talk about before you told her. Hopefully in time she will see that your still the same person, she'll see the rest of the family just 'getting on with it' and will realise that the choice you have made for yourself is making you happy.
