Welcome to my new blog, Being B's Mom. My name is Amanda and I am the mother of two great teenagers. My oldest, CJ, is 15 and my youngest, B, is 13. I am 43 and divorced, although my kids' dad lives with us. We live in a little house in Oregon. We have an Australian Cattle Dog named Sam and B has a cat named Meelo. The girls and I attend the local United Methodist Church.
Politically and socially, I am very liberal. CJ volunteers for a teen program with Planned Parenthood. I am a devastated Hillary supporter. I'm worried about Aleppo, Syria this morning. I just made the Matthew 25 pledge on my Facebook page: I pledge to protect vulnerable people in the name of Jesus.
I am starting this blog because I want to talk about my daughter, B, who has come out as a lesbian this year. I find that I don't have very many people in my life that I can talk to about it. I have had a fitness blog since 2010 and at one point it was really meaningful in my life. I have made friendships through blogging and it occurs to me that I could benefit from having other parents of LGBTQI kids in my life. So please leave a comment. If you blog, leave your blog address so I can follow you back.
