Pixiechick Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 My best friend called me today in tears. She finally came out to her parents. Her family is very conservative and narrow minded. I've known it since we were kids because her parents have always been super strict with her and not really supportive about her life. She calls me today, breaking down over the phone and I couldn't help and break down with her. I hate them so much! I was hoping that somehow I missjudged them over the years and that somehow their love for her would be more important that who she decides to spend her whole life with. She's finally in a great relationship, I can't remember the last time I've seen her this happy and this crazy about someone. Her girlfriend is amazing. She smothers her with her love and everything else that she deserves and she was so happy that she wanted to share it with her family. And this is how they react? I can't help but cry because it's so horrible. For them to not be able to look at her anymore and to tell her that they will never accept it just sickens me. I want to punch them all in the gut and scream at them until they stop with this nonsense. i just want to punch something so bad. How can it be?! My best friend is literally the perfect daughter and they can't even show her enough respect to look her in the eyes after she opens up about this? I love her to death and would do anything for her, but here I'm not able to make her feel better. I can only offer her my embrace and my shoulder to cry on but I know it does nothing to help with how her parents made her feel. I'm just so overwhelmed with this, I literally want to go to her house and kick them in their faces. They don't deserve a daughter like her.

I don't understand it Same in her situation, her brother doesn't even know yet, because she's scared of telling him. i just don't understand it, aren't parents supposed to be there for their children? Not make them feel bad. Like they told her they will never accept her like this. What kind of person does that? I just can't understand that there are still people like this around. 15 hours ago, theredthread said: That's awful. I'm so glad your friend has you. It is, it still makes me cry today just thinking about it. I am there for her, but I can't make her feel better about it. She knows she has me, we've been best friends for 20 years so she knows I've definately got her back. But I can't do much for her in this situation. She knows I love her, but it's her parents love that she wants you know? I'm just so upset about this whole situation, i can only imagine how she must feel...

Rabbit37 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I am with you 100% with rage. How on earth can a parent treat a child this way? I've got three kids (30, 17 and 15), I just really can't fathom being so cruel. My kids know they have my complete support, with whatever lifestyle choices they make. Yes, very glad you're in your friend's life, but yeah, not having family support must be devastating. I hope your friend's gf can ease her pain.

She's a bit better, but still, I know it killed her that she can't get the support from the people that are supposed to love her no matter what. Luckily she has us, her friends and her gf and we can do everything in our power to show her the love she deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestor Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I hate them to, I've especially had to deal with them at my favourite website, alternatehistory.com, where the admin and chief mod are both selfrighteous, sanctimonious jackasses who not only ban you for minor infractions, they demonize you publicly and even make wiki pages about you that you can't edit. Dealing with them was the single most infuriating event of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
