Continuing the Coming Out Process, Heather takes us through Stage 3 - Identity Tolearance. In this stage, the individual starts to come to terms and where seeking out a community for support, and safe spaces online and offline become vital. However, some may live a double life and experience a discrepancy between their two lives, which can lead to self-loathing and shame. As a parent, seek the resources to help and if you feel stuck and don't know what to say when you're talking with your child, remember that being curious and asking open-ended questions will help show them the support they need.
