There was a time i regretted coming out to my mom 'too early'.. But now, its all cool... What about you guys?
I was stupid coming out to my brother. He is the only one I actually ever came out to. He and I have not spoken in thirty years. Everyone else just figured it out. Hugs
I regret HOW my mom found out. But I think if she hadn't I would have been so stressed out now trying to tell her.
I regret not telling the right people and telling the wrong people. And I think I wasn't ready. You know?
I regret coming out to my mother in an argument. She had been on at me for the last four years to get a girlfriend and in the middle of one of her rants on the subject I yelled at her that I wasn't going to get a girlfriend because I was gay. I should have waited until I was financially independent from her before coming out, she tried to stop me from going to uni by withdrawing the money for my tuition fees, thankfully my aunt stepped in and helped me out but it could have gone another way entirely. My advice for anyone is to wait if you are even a tiny bit unsure, it's not a race and it's not easy to take back what you say if you later regret it.
I'm sorry to hear Kay! I'm very sorry! My heart brakes into two , hearing this Love! ---------- Post added 1st Feb 2013 at 08:54 PM ---------- MM.....I think i know what you mean! It's very hard to decide! There's no turnback once you're out... Definitely something to think about! Thank for the reply! Hugs ---------- Post added 1st Feb 2013 at 08:56 PM ---------- Wow! I just saw that you're form Rhode Island! I love people from there! Good on you! Is it a bit easier that she found out,instead of you telling her?
I wanted to be in the closest a little longer I was 16 when I told Mum&Dad basically they would have found out anyway so was best to come from me i thought .I couldnt have asked for anymore supportive parents .
I wish I had of come out earlier, I waited until I was out of high school and away from my home town. There was a couple people in my school who were out and I seen how they were treated by everyone else, that was enough to push me back in the closet until I was away from my home town. I've always regretted waiting, but it was necessary as I didn't know how my family would react so I decided to secure a place to stay before telling them. I feel that a lot of things changed once I finally came out, I've been a lot happier and feel that it would of improved my high school experience to have been myself during it.
To the few people I've come out to, I feel as though I did so too early and in an awkward position. Well, with my Dad he asked so I couldn't really help that one... But, still... I'd do it differently if I had the chance...
