Of course no one should mistreat a child but what my mom was saying was essentially that no matter how bad a straight couple is they're still better than even the BEST (capable, loving, caring, stable) gay couple. For someone like myself who was mistreated badly by my straight parents, it's hard to hear someone be so concerned about the impact of merely being gay as being worse than all of the horrible things they did to us. She is willing to fight hard against gays being married and raising children but never fought for her own children and made no effort to be a good parent herself.
I think it's just extremely triggering for you to hear an anti gay marriage argument from your mom because she's such an awful parent and a raging hypocrite. Your mother is probably the last person who needs to be talking to anyone about family values, especially you and your brother. You might need to limit the time you spend with your mother especially if she's not sober yet.
This is true. She cannot condemn gay marriage and at the same time excuse her own actions, she may have similar beliefs as I, which don't make them 100% right, but I think her difficulty with admitting her failings as a parent have less to do with being straight and more to do with her being unable to come to terms with it.
Is it normal to be so infuriated and sad over this?
