I’ve just been told by my daughter, that her 15 year old daughter has come out as Gay.
She told me in such a jokey way, I did not believe it at first.
I eventually realised it wasn’t a joke. And said I would support her, as long as she is happy, etc.
She is only 15, told her mum she has known since she was 10.
She now has a girlfriend.
I just worry for her future, How difficult it will be for her.
It really doesn’t surprise me, she’s never been a girly girl.
Also diagnosed as ADHD in the last year.
All she seems to do is eat, read, sleep, more sleep, school under sufferance and Scouts.
She has always been hard to communicate with. Won’t allow any kind of touch or hugs.
It is not the first in family. Hubby’s sister is gay. Now in her 70’s and happily married.
But saw the struggles she went through in the 70’s, 80’s.
She hid it from her own mother, never openly talking about her relationship until her, mother passed away in her 90’s
Please give me some hope that times have changed and she will not face these difficulties. I just want the best for Dear Granddaughter.
But I also worry she is too young to be in a relationship.
