We're starting to spell things - because she's 3 y.o. and knows buzz words like "ice cream" and "park". But you are so right. I sometimes see her watching me (or us) and I can tell she's tuning into her immediate environment, and making conclusions. Thanks again for the important reminder. - C.E.</p> Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:11:40 -0700 Community Editor comment 224 at http://www.proudparenting.com http://www.proudparenting.com/node/926 <p>It's amazing to me how much I picked up about my Mom and her decisions as I've gone through life. </p> <p>My Mom came out to me when I was 8. At that time I just understood that my Mom loved a woman instead of a man and that other people wouldn't like it, so I had to keep it a secret. </p> <p>By the time I graduated from high school, I understood my Mom had to leave two kids behind (with my Dad), which couldn't have been easy. I also understood that she couldn't tell the majority of her family the truth. I couldn't imagine how difficult that was. </p> <p><a href="http://www.proudparenting.com/node/926">read more</a></p> http://www.proudparenting.com/node/926#comments Advice &amp; Education children with GLBT parents Coming out to your kids Wed, 24 Oct 2007 06:36:04 -0700 KristenB 926 at http://www.proudparenting.com
