[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a gay child and am Gen X and it took some adjusting, and I’m sure there will be milestones that feel awkward because I expected a different wedding or whatever, but my gay child is my most traditional child. They want a life much like the one they grew up living, complete with kids and all the usual middle class trappings. My other (straight) kids may end up living lives that differ more from my own. It was a huge epiphany to realize I could just love them and that I could decide it wasn’t a “sad” thing. My child is much happier than they were when they were concealing their identity, and that makes me happy too. I have to check myself at times, but it got easier much faster than I expected. My husband and I very much like their partner and think this process of embracing our child’s identity has made us better people. You can’t rush it, but it’s so worth working on yourself and your own biases so you can just love your child and let go of all your ingrained prejudice. You’ll be happier and so will they. Suffering is a choice in this case. I firmly believe that. [/quote]
