When Your Child Condemns You For Being Gay
We often talk about parents who accept their LGBTQ+ kids, and about parents who don’t.
Today, we flip the script and talk about children who condemn their LGBTQ+ parents, and how to respond to that.
Maybe this is for you, maybe for someone you love.
Let’s talk about how we can best protect our hearts against what can feel like a relentless, intimate attack, and how we can respond to these common arguments.
