[mothered]

Your child stays your child. Whatever happens, it is important to not disown your child. Just look at the things they do good. If everything what they do is good, I wouldn't be mad, I would rather just talk about it, asking why, if he/she is sure and like that.

Whatever your kid becomes or want to be, always support it. Otherwise you would regret it later. I had some difficulties with my parents (not because of this reason) but it was really bad. In the end, only talking helped.

If only everyone thinks along these lines, the world would be a better place.

Well said.
