My parents said some things that could be considered “insensitive” when I came out to them (I’m gay)about 3 years ago and it was the start of a pattern of off-hand comments and small insensitive jokes that made some things pretty hard for me. But when I talked to them about it recently, they said they didn’t do anything of the sort. I’ve cried over this for years now, and they told me that it “didn’t happen.” I don’t know what to think and I feel like my emotions are invalid.
