Feeling Bad

C/W: Kinda bad coming-out story

The other day my mom pressured me into coming out to her as non-binary and ace. Of course, she reacted the exact way I thought she would. She immediately tried to come up with alternative explanations and tried to say “you just don’t have enough life experience” (I’m turning 19 in a month). She was like “why do you hate your body? It’s part of you” and “no woman likes their period.” She also told me that I shouldn’t label myself as asexual because anything could happen down the road. When she noticed I was upset, she tried to backtrack and say “but you know I’ll always love and support you no matter what.” It’s just hard to feel loved and supported when I get invalidated at every turn.
