Joker Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Please don't quote as I may delete all or some of the information. Thanks! Anything that might help us really. We've told her we're cool with it. So, now we're looking into resources because we don't want to screw this up or hurt her in any way.

Pod's mum Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Joker if you are the parent of a teen, you ARE going to get it wrong sometimes. These are really tough years for all teens and as a parent you are her 'safety fuse'. So be prepared to be told how wrong you are sometimes and that as a falible, caring parent you are... well... failible. Be honest and remind her of this and that these years have/are not neccessarily going to be challenging just because of her sexuality. Transitions, child > adult, are full of emotional growing pains. Remind her that growing up is tough and help her rediscover the things that make it worthwhile. Some people will be asses. Sadly that's a given. Many will be supportive. It's a life skill all our kids need; to negotiate, cultivate and weed the people in their lives. Maybe you can drama-shop with her to develop some responses for possible conversations? Day by day. Good luck. Edited: for grammar, missing words and spelling. Always. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I don't have any resources just wanted to say I hope you find helpful things! I'm glad your dd doesn't need to navigate alone...unfortunately the waters can be treacherous. (Hugs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
