Intro: A story of love across deep divides

Why Sharon & Anne Marie are sharing

Growing up in an unusual family

How faith and life experiences shaped them

A family in crisis

“I never once questioned whether they love me”

Breakfast conversations to cross the divide

Learning another level of love

Accepting a gift while rejecting a worldview

Building the capacity to talk about anything

Reflections and lessons that offer hope

Conclusion: Thank you and good bye

Anne Marie Denman was the “angel” of the family: obedient, attentive, with plans to become a nun. When she came out as gay to her conservative Catholic parents, a deep rupture drove them apart.

How do you stay close to people who won’t share your worldview? Can love exist while someone feels rejected? And can you invest in the relationship without condoning the other’s convictions? These are some of the questions Anne Marie and her mother, Sharon, wrestled with over the years, as they fought to protect a connection that was threatened by their differences.

Mother and daughter join Mónica for an intimate and vulnerable conversation about the ups and downs of that journey — and what it takes to stay connected without demanding agreement.
