Girlfriends parents are homophobic and forced us to break up :(
2021 June i asked by best friend to be my girlfriend and we dated for five months. we were happy and in a super healthy relationship. her parents found out i was a lesbian and had an argument. she came out to her parents and told them that we loved each other. her parents told us we are too young to understand love and its not right. they forced us to break up in october and till this day im devastated. she hasnt said anything after our breakup yet and its been a year. i dont know if i should talk to her about it even though im really sensitive on the subject. shes the person who cant find the words to describe her feelings and uses it for humor. i want to tell her i still love her as much as we first dated.

Hey @Sienna_xo
Thank you for sharing this with us. I’m sorry that you experienced this and that your best friends’ parents weren’t supportive or understanding of your relationship. It must have been quite devastating for you both and the break up even more so because it was forced and out of both of your control. I was wondering whether your parents have been supportive of you coming out?
I know you mentioned that your feelings for her haven’t changed, it sounds like you had a very special relationship. It’s understandable that you still feel so hurt by this, especially since your feelings are the same and the break up was out of your control. I know you said that you’re not sure if you should speak to her about this and was wondering how you think she might respond if you did?
It sounds like it has been a really difficult time since your break up and I was wondering whether you had any support from a mental health professional or whether you had anyone else that you could speak to like a friend or family member? Qlife have great support services for LGBTQIA+ people if you wanted to speak to someone on there too. We also have some resources and online articles about sexuality that I wanted to share with you.
I want to remind you that we are all here for you and that you aren't alone!
