US EditionDear Abby: Tensions between mom, lesbian daughter have stretched the distance between them
- A parent has not shared holidays with their grown daughter Charly for 12 years since she left the state after coming out as a lesbian.
- The distance widened because the parent was not very accepting of Charly’s coming out and the daughter and her partner set conditions for visits involving sharing the same bed.
- The parent once stayed with Charly and her partner, who slept in the same bed, but now the daughter refuses to invite the parent back due to discomfort about having guests.
- The parent recently began a relationship with a gentle, loving man named Grayson, with whom they have talked about marriage, though advice suggests a long engagement to ensure Grayson’s character.
- The situation implies ongoing tension requiring civility among all parties, with a suggestion that staying in a hotel during visits might improve comfort for everyone involved.
