Hi @WorriedMomOfOne , thank you so much for sharing yours and your daughter's experience here. I'm sorry to hear that your daughter's father has not been particularly supportive of her sexuality - as a young LGBTQIA+ person myself I can certainly understand how that might lead her to feel concerned about how she will be received by the rest of the world. Does your daughter have much contact with her father? On the other hand, it sounds as though you are doing everything in your power to ensure that your teen feels accepted for who she is and who she loves, which will undoubtedly go a long way in allowing her to build confidence and comfort in her identity. Having a safe space at home to be yourself is a huge part of learning to be comfortable in your own skin, so you should be incredibly proud that you're creating that kind of space for her.
