Relationships
ADVERTIsem*nT
Coming out can be an incredibly difficult and scary experience, especially when the people closest to you react negatively. For Reddit user MadeTheirBed_aita, it resulted in her being disowned by her entire family.
Despite the challenges she faced, however, the woman was able to build a happy life. But then, when everything seemed going great, her parents reached out for help after facing financial struggles, and she was faced with a difficult decision.
This woman came out to her folks when she was 18

I think she handled this exactly right. She was classy not to rub the bio parents’ faces in it, and kind to find those resources for the bio mother. She has taken the high road

Agreed, huge props to her for being the better person. I would not have been so kind I think. I wouldn't have just rubbed their faces in it. I'd have outright taken a metaphorical dump on their entire lives and laughed while doing it. That probably makes me a pretty s****y person but that kind of injustice really just eats at me.

Oh come on, that's just cynical. They probably would have contacted her if she won the lottery too.

Only thing I'd change would've been to say, "I'm sorry, who is this? Do I know you?" when dad called. "Father? No, doesn't ring a bell. You must have the wrong number, bye."
