Thanks for the post. I thought about that too, that maybe my daughter has moved passed the initial reaction to the news, and now the two of them have an understanding of each other, and they really are "just friends". We have opened our heart and home to this young girl over the last three years, and the three of us (myself, my daughter and her friend) were having an open discussion about dating and boyfriends, and morality and purity, etc... when the friend (I will call her Sue) stated that she was so happy to have these discussions with us, because there is no way she and her mom would ever have these kinds of discussions. She then went on to say that her mom has no idea about her life. (this was before I knew about her sexuality) I told her that her mom doesn't know about her life because she doesn't tell her about her life. She then asked if I would love my daughter no matter what. I said yes, I would love my daughter no matter what, and she asked me "even if she were gay?" I said that yes, I would love her even if she were gay, but that I may not necessarily agree with her lifestyle. My daughter then said, "but I am not gay, so we don't have to worry about that!" Sue then stated that she is not sure her mom would be so understanding. I later asked my daughter if Sue was gay, and she told me that she was bisexual. So, this got my "worry wart mom wheels" to start spinning that maybe Sue was trying to show my daughter that it would be ok for my daughter to tell me if she were gay or bisexual. I told my husband about the whole conversation and he thinks that Sue was just seeing if we would still be accepting of her in our house. For some reason I just can't seem to let this go, so I do think I will ask my daughter how she feels about Sue being bisexual, and how she deals with this.
Thanks for your prayers
