Scenario of Rose:
My name is Rose, and I came here today to talk primarily about something that happened recently with my daughter, and I'm a single mom, and my daughter is an only child. She and I are very, very close. I just had a conversation with her on the phone, and she and I were planning for her graduation. She's a senior in college. She's coming home. We're all excited, and she asked if she could bring her girlfriend home, and I said sure. You know, we were planning this big celebration, but she said, Mom, you don't understand. This is not just one of my friends from school; this is someone I'm dating. My world just stopped. She said that she's gay. She never said anything before this about you know, where you know being. Attracted to women? So I'm. I'm really thrown by this, and I am wrestling with all these issues that have come up as a result of this. We're, you know, we're very committed to our faith, and this completely goes against what we believed, what we believe all these years. I don't lose my daughter. I love my daughter, and I want a relationship with her. But this just wasn't anything that I ever envisioned having to accept. She's going to be coming home in a couple of weeks. I don't know how to. Adjust to that. How to bring her into the home, how to, you know, what, do I even stay with her new girlfriend? I don't know how to deal with that. And I've got all of these issues surrounding our church. I mean, that's our 2nd family. So I've got, I don't know what to do about, you know, our church family, about talking to my pastor about it. And I also, I don't know how long she's felt this way. I don't know if this is a phase she's going through. So I don't even know if it's something that I need to talk with anyone else about, and I want to handle this the right way. I love my daughter. I want to accept her. I want to accept her partner. But I just don't know how to do that. I had no preparation for this. So, I guess I'm hoping that I'm hoping that you can help me with this. I'm hoping to find a place to start in terms of just starting to deal with this and understand not just how I feel. But how are you to interact with her? So, where would you suggest that I start?
