I mentioned in the past that our d19 who lives in Boston may have same-sex attraction. Well, yesterday she confirmed it to me.
I had texted d19 the night before to see if she wanted 'Game of Thrones' updates. But she did not respond. Yesterday morning she responded saying she was dating a woman friend from work, and I would probably like her - b/c she puts sauerkraut on her hot dogs and she likes the rock group ACDC.
I was not going to let my past struggles with being judgmental creep into my response to d19's revelation. I asked if her friend liked the old Bon Scott ACDC, or the current version of the band. And of course, I had to ask if she was a Vikings fan.
The woman d19 is dating is from NY, and so was probably not a Vikings fan. But she prefers the old ACDC songs. So I texted d19 that she sounds like she is "pretty special". D19 texted back telling me she loved me.
W later told me that d19 was very much afraid to tell me of her same-sex attraction. I can't be judgmental to anyone given the colossal mess my life currently is in.
I don't have a clue on how to deal with d19's same sex attraction. But for now, I am going to treat them just as I treat my oldest daughter's relationship with her fiancée.
