Hi all,
I'm just stopping in to ask you for some advice. Here's the background info...A 40ish friend of mine just recently came out (within the last year) and moved in with her partner (6 months ago). This is her first lesbian relationship and she is very much in love and happy. However, she has a teenage daughter who (we think) may be struggling with this new family (the partner has 2 children who are well adjusted to lesbian families). Are there any resources that I can suggest for my friend or for her daughter? This is such a delicate situation especially for the daughter. I cannot imagine how confusing it must be to all of a sudden be put into a family that is completely new and same-sex. We all know that the teenage years are troublesome enough!!!
Thank you in advance for any insight or advice. I appreciate any feedback or experience you can bring to this!
