I came out bi to my parents a year and three months ago this Tuesday. They both totally ignored it, and insisted that I was straight. Since then, I've come to realize that I'm a lesbian. My dad is okay about it, I never out right told my parents, they figured it out themselves seeing me with my girlfriend, which is also how my brothers figured it out.
How my mom ignores it:
She simply refers to my girlfriend as her name. Not as my friend or anything. Simply Joan. (Fake name)
She's currently reading "Keeping You a Secret" because I left it where I knew she would. Today she outright said to me that she didn't understand at all Holland's obsession with Cece.
She made me take my relationship off of Facebook, stating that it was "putting your business out there." (I set it so that people who might tell her couldn't see it.)
She tries to discuss with me how I'll one day fall in love with a man and bear his children. (I'm adopting.)
She is completely unapproachable about the topic. I cannot discuss it with her at all.
These are just a few of the ways she acts toward it. How can I react? How can I learn to deal with it better, as it really bothers me?
Also, there's my dad. While he's okay about it, once I told him that I can't stand people saying "That's gay," he began saying it ALL THE TIME. He knows I hate it. He says fag a lot, too, and dyke. I despise it.
I'm 16, won't be 17 until December, and my parents are in their mid-50s. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
