...and I'm not sure how to help her.
She's been very down and moody for months/a year. Assorted problems with school attendance and her emotional well being.
This evening she's been out with friends, come home and had a HUGE tantrum eventually calming down and with me asking what's going on she said there was something she wanted to tell me - after some angst she wrote on a note 'I'm Bisexual'. She says she doesn't even know if she is or what's going on but she feels as though this is the best way to describe her turmoil.
I told her that made no difference to my love for her or how I'll treat her and she has asked me not to tell anyone, even dh. She doesn't want me to mention it again.
Have I handled it right? What else can I offer if she ever talks to me again.
