I will have to disagree with that. Sometimes they really
don't love you no matter what.
Because of my gender identity issues and sexual orientation, my family and I do not speak. I have not spoken to my mother in nearly eight years. They chose to disown me rather than come to terms with the fact that they, in fact, have a daughter who dates other women.
I would be careful about banking on the ideal that parents should always love their children, even if they do not agree with them. For me, the unpleasant truth was written quite starkly in blood.
