Reply #42: As a proud member of my local PFLAG ..

[Maat]

Parents, Family, Friends of Lesbians and Gays ... at www.pflag.org ... I strongly urge you to go and get in touch with your closest PFLAG. Ellen Degeneres' mom is on the national board. PFLAGers will welcome you with open arms, and your daughter, and help you deal with it all.

I'm here to support you, Mom.

And, in my opinion, you didn't screw up. There are things that you could add to the discussion, and Lost delineated them; but, she is going to understand that people aren't perfect, and that Mom is doing her best and will do her best. PFLAG actually has information on the site about how to deal with this situation. It is well-thought-out.

On edit:
I really like the idea of going to the national site, looking up information, and maybe then pursuing an online chapter if there isn't a local one.

Congrats on a wonderful daughter!

Please PM me if you need some people to talk to (people that I HIGHLY respect); I will give you their phone numbers.

FINALLY (and then I'll stop babbling), we Californians are going to right the wrong out here - see my sigline - we are trying!
