closeted, family relationships, coming out
Victoria: Okay so, am I out at school? No-
Tara: Okay.
Victoria: At my daughter’s request, I have not come out at school.
Tara: Okay.
Victoria: What they knew, what they’ve been through with us, because she’s been at this school for five years, and had the same teacher. So what they knew of us is that I was married to her dad when she started at the school, we went through a lot of challenges, and we ended up separating. Um, my daughter then was part time with his, part time at his house, part time at my house. Some of the folks in school had journeyed that with us-
Tara: Right.
Victoria: And the challenges of that, and her difficulties in dealing with that situation. So during all that, after all that, then I come out. So there was a place where I wasn’t putting it into the school space-
Tara: Right.
Victoria: And then good, bad or otherwise, but then she said “please do not.”
