When I came out to my mum as bisexual several years ago, she answered, “Isn’t everyone a little bit bi?”, which I took to be a good sign… but I don’t think she really believed me until I told her recently that I was dating a girl. Now she is clinging to how I seem to have had meaningful relationships with boys also. Dad took it very weirdly because it was a shock to him, and while he hasn’t been mean about it in any way, he’s been distinctly cold ever since.
