I play guitar.  I like video games. I like to eat meat. My parents just found out I am gay. My parents don't like that I'm gay.  My parents were upset at first. My favorite ice cream is Mint Chocolate Chip. I am a welder. I don't hang out with my co-workers much. My job is boring.
I have an apartment in New York. I like Blue Bell ice cream, especially King Cake. I also like Mint Chocolate Chip. I have a kitten named Bonnie. My cousin is in a support group. She is gay. My cousin's parents were upset when she came out as gay. I'm a vet assistant. I love animals.
How is your cousin doing? Has her family come around to the fact that she is gay? They still don't love it, but they have started to come around. I think it is going to be a long process. Well at least it has started, that's the main thing. Maybe her support group can offer some ideas on how to help her parents deal with it. I really hope so. I am so proud of her for coming out, but it's saddening that her parents are acting this way. It must be a shock for them. I think that is the hardest part. They probably are very unfamiliar and scared of something new like this. Maybe you could find a nice kitten to distract them.  They have been looking for a pet, actually. Their most previous one passed away in the last year or so. I really thing they just need to approach this head on and realize that what their daughter wants is what is best. Agreed, she is still their daughter and they can not change that. I hope that my cousin's support group can give her some ways of productively talking to them about it.  I think that they will. This will be a common theme that will come up quite often and the support group will have some good ideas. How long as she been going to the support group? Probably about four months now. It took some time for her to begin going. I think she thought she wouldn't get much out of it. Sometimes it can feel like these groups are a waste of time. However, they are a collection of similar people with similar issues. There will always be someone who has already gone through the same thing.
