The same thing happened to me, I just don’t talk about it now, when I tried my mom basically tried tell me to use “mind over matter” and lie to myself just to try to get me to like men, force me back into religion, took away any sense of autonomy and privacy I had, we have a decent relationship now but its at the expense of me avoiding any conversation about my dating life
I’m not lesbian, but have been in this situation with family for other reasons: if they are unable to accept you as you are, they are horrible people and horrible parents. You will be chasing ghosts for the rest of your life: the parent you are looking for will likely never come to you. Yes, some people’s parents change and learn to accept, but not all.
You need to ask yourself if you’re willing to deny yourself your own freedom to be yourself just for your judgmental, hateful mother will love you, and even then it will be *conditionally.* Good parents love unconditionally, and unfortunately a lot of us got pretty shitty ones. Just remember that it’s okay to go no-contact if you so choose: I did it, and my only regret is that I wish I had sooner. There will be people who love you for you, it may just not be blood family. 🫂
