Why Won't My Parents Accept Me?

I tried to come out to my mom about a year ago and she doesn't seem to support me because the next time she talked to me about it was 6 months later and all she said was "Are you still having those feelings" I answered with silence and turned around and walked out the front door and came back the next day and to this day I hint on it and she just doesn't get me or just doesn't accept me for who I am 😭

Parents come from a very different generation than you. They didn't have a choice growing up and learned to live with that. So it makes sense that a lot of them won't understand.

@Reject Very True, But don't I deserve happiness?

@Fall3nSerenity I think you do, but that's going to very hard to find if you depend on others for it.

@Reject Yes, but every person gets support in hard times.

@Fall3nSerenity Not every person. Sometimes we have to support ourselves.

@Reject True, Thanks.
