When I came out to my mother, she initially struggled to reconcile the reality that I would not be forming a family in the way she had envisioned. Over time, she learned to embrace this change, expanding her perspective on love and relationships. She accepted a broader romantic paradigm—one where love is not confined by gender. This evolution is a journey many parents and their children navigate in some form. As a future parent, I anticipate facing my own challenges in adapting to new concepts of love.
