Well, I did it... I came out today to my mom and I know she will tell my dad later on tonite. She took is really well, although I know she probably wont sleep tonite and she will probably cry... maybe she is to shocked but she seemed to take it very well. She said "im not sad because you are gay.. im sad because you have been hurting for so long" and btw my mom and dad are VERY religious... she said we would get a counselor/therapist but i dont really care.... she said she was reading a book called "raising boys" and they had a section about kids who where gay and that i fit some of the signs they talked about in the boook but she just kinda dissregarded it. anyway it went well and she was happy I told her
Congratulations! I'm very proud of you and admire your courage to tell your mom. I'm glad she took it well too. A question for you. Was it completely different from telling your friends? What I mean is, after telling some friends it becomes somwhat easier but was telling your mom really hard as if you just came out for the first time? I ask because I am planning to come out soon to my parents and I'm feeling a whole lot more nervous than I normally do when I tell someone. As I began to tell more and more people it became easier and easier and now when I think about telling my parents, it seems like it's my first time all over again. Anyway, 'grats.
Congratulations, im so jealous of you, i can't wait to let the weight off my shoulders, im ready to burst xD. Enjoy the happiness
It was very different.... but I goy lucky because my mom came upstairs while I was crying, asked me what was wrong and kept guessing and eventually she asked and I just said yes. Then the rest of the conversation was: 1.) i love you no matter what 2.) we will get you a therapist 3.) you arent the only one.. now we are in Cali. and we went on a tour and it was talking about the gay community which was kinda awkward lol but things went well for me
awesome! it is an amazing feeling to finally tell someone. it takes quite a bit of courage, congrats!
Way To Go I Told My Sister In Law Yesterday And I Plan To Tell My Mom Today Actually So Ill Keep You Posted On How It Goes Im Not To Worried My Mom Is So Understanding With Ever Ever Everything It My Brothers Im Kinda Worried About But Hey Im Gay And They Either Have To Accept It Or Keep There Differance
BY THE WAY ME AND MY SISTER IN LAW TURNED THE EVENT INTO A GIRLS FUN DAY TOGETHER WE LAUGHED AND SHE ASKED HOW I WAS GONNA TELL MY MOM I TOLD HEHR I WAS GONNA DRIVE UP IN A PINK TWO PIECE SKIN TIGHT SHORT SET THAT SAYS PRINCESS AND SAY " TA DAH" lol WE ROLLED LAUGHING TOGETHER THEN I PAINTED MY TOES AND FINGER NAILS PRETTY PINK
congrats man. it's a really good feeling to finally not have to hide that side of you anymore. as far as the awkwardness of talking about gay things with them, that'll take a while, it's still somewhat awkward for me, and I've been out a really long time. But it's all good....
the best is that we all went to see that movie "I now pronounce you chuck and larry" lol...aqwaaaaaarrdd but still funny as hell
Actually, I think a therapist is a good idea. Not because you are confused, but because you are gonna be faced with tons of choices and new situations. I know that if I didnt have my cousin chamille to talk to openly and freely, I would have been hurting inside. I say, talk to a therapist, but a gay friendly therapist- not one that will try to convince you that you arent gay, because you are and you have to embrace it, love it, be yourself. Good job man, I know it doesnt mean much but I am proud of you.
