Dear Mummy

[darkeyes]

One thing wich distresses me wiv peeps I know is the hurt an confusion they hav wen the mums an dads cant undastand their sexuality an all 2 often go as far as 2 disown em an leave em 2 ther own devices. Goes for gays an lezzies as well as us. Me wos lucky wiv gr8 mum an dad who neva had ne real probs bout me sexuality, but only really wiv wot they called me irresponsibility in deployin it. Listened 2 so much hurt an wile me cant mayb understand fully wy peeps so hard on ther kids as they begin 2 truly undastand and experiment wivtheir sexuality, the followin letta in form of a poem cud b in so many ways aimed at me bro who cant accept or undastand why I am wot I am.


Dear mummy

I’m sorry
You are my best friend and I’m sorry
Why can’t you understand?
Why can’t you see?
I love as you love dad
I laugh as you do with dad…
…and cry as you do over dad
And with him
I’m really sorry
But why can’t you understand?
I am still the same little girl
And no different inside
I have hopes and dreams
Compassion and passion
Loves and hates.
Mummy why?
Am I so different?
I love you mummy as I always have
And daddy too
I wish you only to always be here
And to always love me as your little girl
Until now you have never judged me
Always helped me
Never doubted me
Refused to condemn me
Why now mummy?
Why the change?
Or am I so changed?
Am I no longer the same?
Can I be so much less in your eyes?

Mummy why not?
Why can’t you understand?
My head follows where my heart tells
My needs and wants what my head and spirit demands
You and daddy always told me to follow my heart
To use my head but always to be my own person
Now I am
Why mummy, why can’t you understand?

I love you mummy. :(

I'm lucky enough to have a mother who has told me on many occasions that in her eyes, nothing could change how she views me, and my coming out was no different. My stepdad was just as supportive. They don't pretend to understand, but instead just accept what I understand even if they don't. There are some who know, most who don't. My own father and brother don't. My sister does. Most of my close coworkers do, however they are young and it seems that younger ones are more accepting and know more people.

I have children myself, and I can only hope that one day they will understand, or in the least be accepting of what they cannot change.

It's difficult to have family who are unaccepting. Friends you can say 'oh, they're just not real friends if that changes their minds', but how can you do that with family? I've been hesitant to tell those in my family who don't know because those are the ones whom I'm most concerned will be unaccepting. I suppose I'm putting it off the inevitable, but in the meantime, I'm not troubled by it.

luv and hugs,

Beautiful poem Frannie. I wish your brother could see you as the same little sister he loved so, growing up. He's losing out on so much.

Never understood a parent that could disown their own flesh and blood, especially for something like their sexual preferances. I've seen a lot of parents that should be disowned for a whole lot worse.
