Re: Asexual with a mom who thinks it's "sick and fucked up"...feeling sad

[ghostofcairo]

I know it's easy for us here to say since we're not there, but I think everyone else is right. It sounds like she's projecting her own issues onto you, and what she's saying reflects more on her than it does on you (or your dad, or asexual people in general). While I love her, my own mom says and believes some narrow-minded and ignorant things (usually about sexuality and gender and sometimes race) and it pisses me off, but I have to remind myself that it's her problem, not mine.

I don't always succeed, but for me the best way to deal with it is to just try not to engage. If she starts off on some tangent I just don't say anything, let her rant, and then when she's done I calmly change the subject. Like I said, I don't always succeed, sometimes I end up calling her on whatever ignorant thing she said and that usually makes things worse, but I try to ignore it as much as I can. I don't know if that would work for you or not, but maybe it's worth a try?

Thank you. Sometimes I can change the subject but that doesn't always work. I guess I need to try harder to just ignore her.
