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

well the first thing is that you shouldn't be privy to your parent's marital problems, and especially when they involve sex. it's weird and gross that she's involving you in these conversations. if your dad is normal and open to suggestion, I'd tell him that he and your mom need to be in a couples' therapy to discuss this, because you are not their therapist and shouldn't have to be. her comments have nothing to do with you or other asexuals, they're a product of resentment toward your father, so separate her thoughts from asexuality immediately.

I think it's definitely weird that she's involving me, and I've told her I don't like it, but she won't stop. She has a few really close friends that she spends a lot of time with, so I don't know why she doesn't save that kind of stuff for them, but for whatever reason, she feels the need to tell me too.

They have gone to therapy before, but it didn't really do anything, so I'm not sure suggesting that would do any good.

Either way, I definitely need to remember that her comments don't have anything to do with me or my sexuality and are about her and her own issues. The comments here have helped remind me of that.
