Exactly, we should only engage in sexuality when we don't feel any lust.
Think of the flag and all the angels in heaven watching you, and do your duty!

Why?

We have not had a mother-daughter relationship since I asked her to please not marry, and let me put her through University first. If it was love it would last. She was 19 and to make it short--said I could like it or not come.
28 years later we are no closer!

Hah don't you love those controlling mothers who become so overbearing that their children stop talking to them? Then it is always a sob story about how they can't see their grandchildren who they would probably be emotionally abusing if they weren't ostracized.

That's terrible. I married when I was barely 16. Yes, it was a mistake. Yes, my mother begged me not to. Yes, I told her that I was doing it with or without her. But she supported me 100%, including dragging me around the country so I could go to my boyfriend's location (he was in the service) and then my parents paid for the wedding. I will never forget how wonderful it felt to have their support even though I knew how strongly they disagreed with what I was doing. That's LOVE. You can disagree with your children and still support them. My mother and I had a wonderful relationship until the day she died.
A little unsolicited advice: Accept your daughter for WHO she is and WHAT she is and support her in her decisions. Contact her and set your relationship straight before it's too late. Don't throw love away because you don't agree with her.
I 'accepted' their choice, attended, paid for the wedding and was around for the birth of the first 2 children. When I had no more money to lend (needed some for myself and they owed me $55K) my (now ex) son-in-law booted me out from coming 3 days a week to 'sit' the kids for 7 hrs/day. No one can ever say I didn't support them in one way or another, until it was clear that they couldn't manage money and I had to stop lending or we would all have been broke.

The fact that you put quote marks around the word accepted makes me think you really didn't.
I think there's something more to this situation but it's really not the subject of the thread. If you don't want to REALLY accept your daughter's sexuality and work out your relationship with her, that's your choice.

After your terrible comments it is obvious we aren't getting both sides of the story. Who do you think you are fooling?

Jeesh. No one can read!
I 'accepted' her choice to marry a 'rich' man when she was 19 but he was poor, a narcisisstic liar aged 30, which i saw through, and I could have put her through University and she would be more mature to accept about herself who, now in her mid- 40s has fínally come out as a lesbian.
Why change some a slender lady to a sumo wrestler? was an 'exaggerated' question regarding if this is commom among lesbians?
