I've been there.


When I met, then moved in with a woman, my father, one sister, and my brother all disowned me.

Awwwwwwwww Kacey,
It took my Mom about a year or so to come around. I know it can seem like they never will, but they usually realize that they would rather have their daughters/sons in their lives.
Please don't close the door on your relationship with your Mom. She has a lot to take in. Tell her she can ask you questions if she wants too.
My Mom also tried to fix me and save me. She bought all kinds of self-help books and they would just appear wear I would find them.
Then she blamed herself, then she blamed the Navy. Then she blamed my uncle for buying me baseball things instead of dolls. (I wanted the baseball equipment.) Oh and fishing equipment.
Many of my parents friends are gay or lesbian, so I was shocked that she did not handle my being lesbian.
Leave the door open. I just talked to my Mom anyway. I told her I loved her all the time. Told her I did not want her to hate me.
Now she tells everyone about me as if it is normal. so, all her friends and aquaintences know. She also is protective of me when she hears things on T.V. about GLBT in a negative way. She was mad when Ellen's show was cancelled because she is a lesbian etc.
So give it time.
Hugs,
Laurie

Oh wow, Kacey.
I am sorry. Just for the divorce?!
Well, I do hope she will come to forgive you for it and yes before it is to late.
My parents are divorced and pretty open minded for their generation.
I hope your Mom will see that it is alright for you to be happy and not stay in a marriage for all the wrong reasons.
That would not be fair to either person in the marriage.
I do hope your Mom comes around.
Hugs,
Laurie
