My wife and I am going on vacation with my son the grandkids my daughter and her family.It's kind of like a family reunion type thing.Alot of people are coming. We are staying at the beach six weeks starting in july. My daughter has a problem with me being gay. I never thought I loved women until I met my wife who I have been with for seventeen years. My daughter can't be civil to me or my wife. I don't think I should have to stay Away from the rest of the family because she doesn't approve of me. I have begged off coming to my son and son in law for past the four years because of her attitude. I try to downplay WHO I AM, but that's not enough. My wife is the first platonic relationship I ever felt loved in. my children's father cheated on me for years and treated me like a maid. I got sick of it and left. I think at 74 YEARS YOUNG I should be allowed to be happy and enjoy my grandkids.They send me cards and stuff on instagram all the time saying they miss me.

    That bitch needs to grow up and start to love you because you are almost dead.

    That is so sad: your daughter has a problem if she can't accept you and your partner after 17 years.

    Don't miss out on your grandkids and the rest of the family because of her bigotry. I'm assuming the rest of the family accept you, in which case can they talk to her and ask her to at least be civil? She's being very childish as well as bigoted

    First off, I want to congratulate you on your happiness!

    It's hard, but your daughter's attitude isn't worth it. She's not worth being around or trying to please. You shouldn't have to downplay who you are.

    If you do decide to cut her out of your life, and if you're willing, I think it would be a good idea to try to find out the reason for how your daughter feels. It's be 17 years! There has to be a deep seated reason for as to why she hasn't gotten over this for so long. Perhaps, you could agree to go in for family therapy together?

    Good luck.

    Wow! A 74 year-old out of the closet computer user! :D Ehm, sorry that's just not something I see everyday. You sure are keeping up with the times, good on you!

    Anyways, 17 years? If she isn't used to it by now I wouldn't even care anymore. Does anyone else seem to have a problem with it? If not then there's just something wrong with her. Maybe talk to her about it? If she won't be reasonable that's her problem, not yours.

    I think it's normal that she feels that way but it is indeed insensitive. Did she straight up tell you that she has a problem with you being gay? I have to admit, if my mother was openly gay then I would probably feel weird bringing her around new people because sometimes humans can be very judgmental, hurtful, and non-accepting of things out of the norm - but I would NEVER love her any less! it's probably more of an insecurity on her part.

    Either way, you deserve to be happy, especially after all you've been through. I think you should go down with an open mind and just have fun. Once she sees that no one else is bothered by your sexuality, maybe she will loosen up a bit.

    Being 74 or thereabouts, allows latttitude, or at least should, in what you choose to do. You have earned the right to be the person you so wish to be and to hell with what others think.
    If, with luck and the best intentions, those younger that disaprove, will maybe reach your mature years and suddenly, again with lots of luck, discover the real world.
    In the mean time, do what pleases you. You have earned the right to do so.

    Maybe your daughter is jealous and you or your queer friend should suck her off.

    I think its to do with that you had kids and she is think you had kids so you should stay with a male I think she cannt get use to it because if it was me I would be like err my mum is a lesbain but if you are happy you just need to sit down with her and talk
