[quote=Anonymous]I'm a lesbian and I went through a similar period (long before it was possible to publish my thoughts online). This is a delicate situation, because your tween is developmentally separating from you while just beginning to understand her sexuality. I'm guessing she really doesn't want to talk to you about it. That said, if she posted it knowing you would see it, she may have done it on purpose. So you should acknowledge it, casually and very far away from DH. I would say, as PP suggested, "Hey, you know I saw what you posted on Instagram. Did you mean for me to see it?" If she turns four shades of blue, step back. "I don't mean to intrude. It's your life. But I do want you to know that I love you and if you ever want to talk about anything, I'm here. Nothing you can tell me will ever change that." Then sit down DH and tell him to stuff a sock in it. Anything short of loving and supporting her is a huge mistake and something he will deeply regret.[/quote]
