Is it normal that my mother refuses to acknowledge that i'm having sex?
I'm 19 and in college (female) and my mother just refuses to acknowledge that young adults have sex. She's not religious or anything and she believes in sex before marriage. I've asked to take the contraceptive pill but she seems to think it's to regulate my cycle, not to prevent pregnancy. She's never ever told me how to use contraception or to be be safe which I feel was a terrible flaw in her parenting. I resent her for this. She's never even said the words condom or STD to me, it's like it's a shameful taboo or something. I've had sex with four people and have never been pregnant or had an std. I wish I could talk to her about these things. Is it normal that she acts like this? does anyone else experience this?
