Parents of lgbtq+ kids: I get that your kid might feel different to you when they come out. It might feel like a new identity and it might be scary. You may feel let down and you may have to mourn the person you thought your kid was. Likely, they are sharing some of that fear and surprise. They might even mourn their other self, too. But there is so much joy in coming out. I don't mean that it always goes well, or provides safety and freedom. I am speaking only about feelings here. Feelings-wise, coming out is elating. It's a celebration.
