How to get my mom to accept I'm homoromantic asexual

[Matryoshkasystem]

My mom refuses to accept I'm ace-no sexual attraction- or homoromantic-romantocally attracted to same sex-. She says she's accepting...why can't she accept I am?:( I've literally have told her I have a crush on a guy, she still doesn't believe me. She says I'm probably like my dad-according to her I'm a mirror image of him mentally and just confused at my age, since I have girl friends, thing is that is litter ally all I can see them being, friends. She also says I don't seem gaga over guys-9/10 have a dissociative disorder, also I have the same expression over everything-, I'm not romantic enough-apparently gay guys are supposed to have nothing but love on their minds, just a bunch of weird stuff that makes no sense. She also says I cant possibly be gay since I don't know if I could bottom-theirs some mental block of fear, almost like a memory-. She completely messes up the asexual part, she acts as if aces are robots. She also called them psychopath's... I want to live with my parents until I'm 18 and still be in contact with themr..but as the therapist draws near...I feel an urge to try and escape them...forever. Cause she acts as if she knows me better than me, almoat as if she is supposed to be me.My dad is just very...neutral on my identity.

I guess you can't change their point of view. There are some people who never listens to others. And the best mind setup is theirs. Of course you can try.. Maybe show them a movie or smth like that,they might think other then . ;)

Ur mom says ur the mirror image of ur dad-
sounds like she wants u to think she is the
mirror image of her. Don't know what to say here
but I think she is confusing u and id say ur
confused. Id go out on ur own and meet a
lot of different people and then make
decisions.

lemon drop thing is she is at least tolerant of everything-except crimes- , but yet can't accept her own son is not straight. Also what kind of movies?
Tim987 Thanks, just she has for the majority of my life been my supporter.
ska8er Well I am sorta confused on certain tjings-like where I am on the ace spectrum-, but overall I know ,in my mind at least, who I am with that. Also meeting new people...kinda hard when you parents seem to practice isolationism.

One reason I said to get away from ur parents
and meet new people that maybe u can relate to
or someone who is going to accept u as u. Once u
can get away on ur own-get out fast :confused:

@sk8ter Oh, yeah I plan on doing that anyways. Just until then I'm stuck living with them-unless therapist can do something about it-.

Well you are who you are. When you get older you will definitely know what you want sexually. At your age now you are at the beginning end of puberty and when you reach the end you will have a clear picture of what you want. Hang in there hope you can get along with your parents.
