So, I have a problem. Obviously, haha. razz I came out to my mother that I am bisexual four years ago, and still, to this day, she's in denial about it. I don't know how to convince her I'm bisexual, and I'm nervous that when she finally believes it, she'll treat me like I'm an alien. She is extremely Catholic, and hates the LGBT community and its beliefs. What do I do? How do I react if she disowns me?

Personally, I think if she was going to disown you, it would've happened by now.

Let her believe what she wants. She's entitled to her opinion, and if she's wrong, that's her problem. If she says anything about it, clench your fist, ignore it, and move on. There's no use in putting a ton of energy into it. ninja

You already admitted to her that you are bi-sexual. If she refuses to believe it, it's her choice, you've already spoken. Do not let it phase you.

If things get out of hand I would just move in with friend or out if you can, until she cools down. If she doesn't except it, then just view it as another child-mother relationship that's gone rocky.

I'm currently going through something a little similar, with my mother because she keeps forcing me and reminding me about trying to get into a relationship, when I don't really have that kind of interest.

Though I do have a sweetheart that I found on Gaia, and he's been nothing but a gentleman, supporting and romantic guy, we've known each other almost 4 years now. ,,0w0,, and only this year the both of us were like "...so....3 years...I kinda like....you?...Alot...And I mean I've had a crush on you for a while now" <= >w< it was fun.

:I it doesn't help that he's a transgender, so Mom keeps saying 'she' just because she heard his voice once. And gives me this suspicious look every time I talk something positive about him, and thinking about visiting Canada to meet him and explore the area where he lives, because it's suppose to be very beautiful with this awesome nature preserve (which as ecology bio student I'm really excited to see)

This I find funny, because she never remembers anyone I talk about unless its someone or something that seems threatening to her. I'm not all that bothered with my mom's acceptance. Girls don't have much weight in my culture still (I am a girl)...and my relationship with my mom has always been rocky so It just means I went from a cruddy paved road to a more cruddy one. Hopefully I'll get the nice dirt trail soon.

Just let her live out her delusional fantasy. Path of least resistance.
