This is not a freak-out post because I don't care about gay, straight, bi, blah, blah, blah, you are who you are.I am actually quite honored to get this precursor text:Can I tell you something I've been hiding and I feel like I can trust you with?That tells me I am at least I doing something right when she feels like she can talk to me about anything and trust me.So, she tells me she is bi and that both sexes have their strengths and weaknesses. She says she likes how girls look but like boys' personalities. Then she tells me she'd be dating this girl from her school for over a month now and has no intentions of breaking up with her...yet. I was only slightly shocked. It's something you don't expect to hear. She says she is not sexually active and doesn't want to be. They just do "cute" things together.The question is how to I support her with this. This could just be experimenting or she could honestly feel this way. I want to do right by her. I am not exactly sure how her mom will feel. She has no problem with people being gay, etc., but this hits really close to home and she might, maybe, go flippy for a bit.For me, I made a promise to my daughter when she was hours old. I would love her, support her, and be there when she needed me and I could really care less about who she loves as long as it's a good love shared between two people.This is new territory and I am not exactly sure how to navigate it. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2x2m590
