5. Coming out as lesbian to my hard right wing religious parents was really difficult.

It took years and my stepmother's intervention (after my mother passed) and insistance that my dad accept me and my wife to heal our family from his bigotry. Thankfully, my step-mom knew how to love her children unconditionally and "made" my dad see the light. He died in '19 and I am grateful tofinally have a few years of unconditional love from him. Those in-between years were very painful. And my mother never was accepting, even as I and my wife took care of her while she was dying of cancer.
