AS A PARENT YOU MAY FEEL . . .

ANGER
BLAME
FEAR
UNCERTAINTY
ISOLATION
FRUSTRATION

These are all common feelings for many parents whose child comes out. How you deal with these emotions will be a key factor in your journey to acceptance.

If you need to talk about these feelings we suggest that talking to other parents who have faced these feelings may be more helpful initially than talking to your child. You can be open and honest without harming your relationship or expressing yourself in a way that you may regret later.
