I went for coffee with girlfriends recently. I say “girl” friends, but really we are all in our forties, a few years beyond girlhood. We are all moms with daughters that move in the same social environments. These are lovely, well-educated women with More
You think you know your child. And suddenly, when he comes out, the news can be such a surprise to you that your brain goes into denial mode. This news goes against the grain of the traditional life you’ve envisioned for your child, even before birth. More
She admitted she likes girls & boys, however, I feel this is a “trend” among her peers; she says there are other girls in her class who are also bisexual (although, she doesn’t believe they are). I’m wondering if she might be trying to “fit in”?
