[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re sad because when you were growing up, you believe/know your life would have been harder than it was if you were an out lesbian. You’re scared that, even though you consciously know the world is changing, things aren’t changing enough and your daughters life will still be hard.

The good news is, OP, that right now you are going to play a *huge* role in how hard or easy her life is - and it sounds like you are on Team Love and Acceptance. Trust me - that’s huge.

OP here...you sum up my feelings nicely here.  Thank you.  I also appreciate the recommendation for the Acceptance Project from another PP. I will check that out.  We’re a couple weeks out from our discussion.  I have relaxed considerably and remain resolved to be supportive of her wherever she lands on this.  I’ve actually reflected on my grief, as another poster put it.  That was a really helpful observation.  It’s made me think about how I have take for granted that my kids’ lives will follow certain paths.  These were not conscious thoughts, just assumptions.  But of course they’ll choose their own paths.

Anyway, again, thank you for your supportive comments.
