What do you do if your parents tell you they don't want to attend your wedding?

1 Answer

Answer :

It isn’t clear to me how long it has been since you’ve come out. It might take them a while to come to terms with it and accept it (which they hopefully will). After that, it should be much better and I would hope that they would “see the light” and realize that missing out on important milestones in your life will be something they will regret for the rest of theirs.
