I have been a single dad and raised my daughter since she was 1, she will be 18 in less than two weeks. We have always promised to be honest with each other. The other day she told me she was bi and has a girlfriend. She was scared and nervous and there were tears.

I told her, you are who you are I like to wear women's clothes and showed her my shaved legs. It took tension off of her and she could have cared less. She just said I am not calling you Mom, lol.

We looked at shoes together the following day.

Tabitha,

Don't be surprised if your relationship grows now in ways you can't imagine yet.

Since I've told my step-daughter, she's been my strongest supporter. You and your daughter will have a blast together. Enjoy it.

It's fantastic that your daughter felt she could open up to you that way.

Told my daughter this past week. It feels so liberating to be out to her. Now we have to plan some girl time together.
