    1. That One Crybaby Indigenous Auntie‏ @sha_merirei 16 Jun 2018

      17: Throughout that relationship, my GF and I would visit my parents (we lived a state away) and we’d stay over at their house. Their biggest concerns were the age and cultural differences– hence the nervousness about her being white. They were more worried about her adjusting.

      18: Years and relationships later, my parents have continued to evolve magnificently. Even while I was in another country, they continued to defend and support me.

    3. That One Crybaby Indigenous Auntie‏ @sha_merirei 16 Jun 2018

      19: After I’d left to Palau, my parents attended a Xmas dinner with extended churchy fam. A cousin’s hubby made derogatory comments about “the gays,” and my dad got in his face.

      21: My parents stood by me when my then-girlfriend and I were living in the home of my recently-passed grandfather, along with and at the request of my younger uncle. This was when my older uncle showed up and tried to evict me by ax-point from a house that wasn’t his.

      22: He literally ran around the house with an ax, screaming “KICK HER OUT! SHE’S GAY! KICK HER OUT! SHE’S MARRIED TO A WOMAN!” (For the record, I wasn’t married- Palau doesn’t allow same-sex marriage and decriminalized homosexuality AFTER I left.)

      23: My parents stood by me and supported me when older uncle and his wife came to the house late one night, about a week later, and did kick me (and then-GF) out.

      24: My parents stayed on the phone with me, through what must have been heartbreaking sobbing, to tell me to be strong and fight back. To seek revenge by being true to myself and succeeding professionally- because older uncle could do neither.

    9. That One Crybaby Indigenous Auntie‏ @sha_merirei 16 Jun 2018

      25: I turned 35 recently, and my relationship with my parents has evolved so much throughout my life. My dad said that “Growing older doesn’t mean I stop learning. I learn, I grow, I adapt because the world does. Those who don’t end up on the wrong side of history.”

      26: I talk to them nearly every day and marvel at how my mom just wants me to be with someone who will treat me well and feed me. 😅 And how the man who once said “lesbian is a bad word” now asks my friends’ gender pronouns so that he can address them properly. ❤️
