My mum is against me having a girlfriend?

[Emily]

Okay, so all my teen life I have had boyfriends. But I have experimented with girls. I knew that I always had a thing for girls but I have only ever told CLOSE friends and my recent boyfriend - ( who I have two kids together ) I was honest with him and said I like girls, I have always wanted to be with a girl just to see how I feel. Anyway I continued to stay with my kids dad until I got to the point where I felt I didn't love him after 5 years I wasn't head over heels like I thought I was. I couldn't have sex, I'd feel sick! I wasn't affectionate towards him. I ended things because I felt it wasn't fair on me. I didnt love him, why should I be with him because it seems like the normal thing to do ? to please others? and then I started to talk to this girl, more and more each day! Until we were speaking and skyping for hours, I got butterflies when we spoke, when I'd get a text from her! ..... We met and stayed in a hotel, it felt so right, I liked her more than I did before, we got on so well! I felt so happy and just comfortable. I wanted to see her again, I knew there was something special about her.

However my mum or other friends, my ex boyfriends family didn't know. Until they seen my facebook and pictures, my mum and I arn't close. We dont have a great relationship and she's never supported anything I do. The first thing she said to me is " Have you turned weird " meaning a lesbian I guess.
I ignored it and continued to see this girl, she came to mine for the weekend and left yesterday. We are together now and I am so happy. I like her so much and I have never felt like this before, fallen for someone so quick! But my mum has given me grief its almost like she hates me now. She called me a waste because I wrote a status about Chloe ( my girlfriend ) Its really getting to me now, why should I feel embarrassed and ashamed ? why should I let them put me down ?
What do i do ? Im coming out and telling more people now. Im so into Chloe and happy with her I want everyone to know but on the other hand I dont want people talking about me ( as its SHOCK NEWS ) to some people, sad I know! I feel awkward around my mum now.

Sorry about the long story, but what do you think I should do now? Why is my mum being so nasty and not supporting my choices. not wanting me to be happy

Do not forget that any parents and your mom never wants his or her child goes the wrong way.
Respect to her idea.

Tell your mother she has made her down decisions in life and you're tired of living in the closet. Point out that you have given her grandchildren and your sex life is none of her damned business.

Don't let her abuse you. If she insults you on Facebook, block her. If she refuses to respect Chloe, don't visit her. Let her know that you expect respect and you will not waste your time visiting her until she learns to give you respect.

Good luck with Chloe - and don't let people talking about you get you down. Your life isn't theirs, either.
