How do I withstand the cold war with my mother?

Ok blunt and simple... I know that parents grieve or what ever when they find out there children are GBLT but roughly how long does this take? O.O I know it's different from person to person but it's literally killing me... Me and my mother used to have a very close relationship and I can hardly cope being ignored by her, We never used to fight but thats all we do know, We don't see eye to eye and I avoid to be in the same room as her. It just sucks because she used to be the one I talked to. I never had a good relationship with my sister nor my father mainly because he lives in a different contry, My grand parents either live ages away or are diseased so I do feel quite isolated from them now, kind of like there not part of my life.

So my question once again is.... How long can this take up to?

crazybeast agony auntI know she doesn't care about gay people, since my uncle and her get along very well (uncle is gay and married) Plus she has many gay friends that she just adores. I'm sure it's just the shock still even though i'ts been this long.

It's a bit of a routine now. I just wanted to find out how long I could expect my mother back since she is such a big part in my life.

Unfortunately it's like asking how long's a piece of string. Sometimes it is just a case of time is a healer and others will never accept it.

How deep are her views on homosexuality? It may be a case that she finds it shameful - but you are what you are and you cannot change that.

In this day and age in most countries (not all), people don't really batter an eyelid if someone comes out as gay, but sometimes older people find it harder as they're from a different generation.

The only thing you can really do - and I'm sure you have - is try and talk to her, find out why she's so angry and explain your situation.
