I (7+ years closeted to parents) made a comment about California’s first hurricane in 80+ years, and she responded with something like,

Maybe it will wash out all the gays and wicked people

🙄😮‍💨

Really?! I didn’t even know how to respond to that.

Also, somehow or another I guess it’s gotta come out.

    You don’t have to associate with people just because you share genes. You’re meant to like knowing them.

      They’re not all bad, just every now and then get one of these nuggets. Also, they’re basically the only break we get from two small children, so It’s a comicated situation, though I have been trying to come to terms with the idea that at least one kid(and me) have some stuff going on they may not accept, and while I May tolerate it more for myself, I have to be willing to add some space to protect the kids. I don’t want to get into specifics but I hope that makes sense.

      I don’t want to part with them, but I know what my child might be feeling, and I really want to prevent any confusion or doubts that I may have had for lack of options or knowledge.
