What Could Bisexuals Expect from Life?

When you live in a way that is true to yourself, when you honor and value who you are, all good things in life are possible. Feel good about who you are and you will naturally look after the people and the goals that are important to you. There is no shame in being bisexual and you deserve the same happiness and quality of life as anyone else. Ultimately, we each decide how to realize our dreams, regardless of how great the challenge. But when we are able to surround ourselves with people who love and accept us, we have an excellent chance of overcoming any obstacle. Nothing is impossible.
Sometime families do not accept their sexually diverse family members and some of us use the term “chosen family” to refer to friends who have taken on a support role that is normally held by a blood relative. When family members cannot rise above their prejudice, it is important to form relationships with those who will stand with us. It’s not the same as finding acceptance within our own family, but it does help to insulate us from the prejudice and discrimination we may face in life. This is one of the reasons why rainbow communities tend support their own.
If your family cannot accept you, you can find others who will. We are born into our families but we are not responsible for educating them, or opening their hearts and minds. It can take a long time to deal with the pain inflicted by parents and siblings who can’t get past their bi-phobia. Try to stay focused on the fact that they are limiting their own possibilities in life, not yours - unless that is your choice. You will feel the loss of their affection, but you must continue making decisions that are best for you. Try not to absorb negative comments; they are judging bisexuality, not you. Any previous goodwill they felt towards you is still within them, but their emotions are caged by their fear and misunderstanding of what it means to be bi. They will have great difficulty in seeing the situation this way; it may not be that simple for you either. Angry words and rejection can make you feel as though they have somehow erased you from their existence. This is an illusion; they will continue to love you, even if their bi-phobia prevents them from showing it.
