Reply #69: I don't have a clue... other than just be there for her and support her... [View All]

I'm mixed race, half Mexican, half... Euro/AmerIndian mix. I also have an aunt who was half Black and half Euro/AmerIndian mix. You'd think, having experienced stuff like this, that I'd have something to tell you, but I don't. The hurt that was caused when half my Grandmother's kids reacted with hate and shame after my Grandma married a Black man has never completely gone away for my aunt. As for me, those aunts and uncles who refused to accept my aunt never accepted me or my siblings either. But each of us handled the insult differently. So what it boils down to is I think all you can do is be supportive, be there, and be understanding... the rest she has to work out in her own head.

Glad your son hasn't been taken in by any of the BS. Wish I could say the same for my daughter, but she's around her racist Nana a lot... so I guess she has heard more than I'd like to think about...

Good luck... :pals:
