Re: Homophobic mom? Not sure what to do/need to rant

Other than sitting down and having a chat with her about why you find her remarks and attitude towards you offensive, I'm not sure what you can do in this situation. If she truly believes the shit she's saying she might be impossible to reach.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you should give up. You can try to change her mind about the issue a little at a time and maybe you'll eventually get somewhere. It's worked for me before. Plus it might make you feel better to get that stuff out (which is also a positive).

Maybe if/when you bring a girl home your sexuality will finally become 'real' to her and she'll understand. Maybe she'll eventually 'get it' girlfriend or not and just needs time. There's no way to tell.

Until then I say do what you feel is best for you. If you don't feel like putting up with her, don't. If you feel like hanging out with her, do. You aren't obligated to be around your mother (especially if she makes you feel bad), so just remember that.

:(

Hope things work out OP.

We've had so many chats about it and usually they turn into arguments, but she is better now than she was a few years ago so hopefully I can slowly change her mind little by little.

Thank you!

Some improvement is better than none! It is unfortunate she hasn't made more progress in understanding where you're coming from, but apparently it hasn't clicked for her yet. It sounds like you're doing all you can so the problem isn't with you, its with her.
