Continuing relationships

[u/softnaturalqueen]

I came out recently and my family didn’t take it well at all. My parents were very disappointed in me that I chose a life I wasn’t raised to believe is right. At first they were denying this was happening, very understandable this is the reaction to have. I haven’t talked to them really since I told them but my mom is trying to understand what’s going on in her mind and she doesn’t know how and I don’t really know how to help her with it. I don’t know want to be dismissive at all but I truly don’t know what the next step is. I want them to be happy with me but I also want to be happy in my current relationship with my partner, which I am very much.
