    so my Mom was "helping" me do math homework, more like forcing cause i wouldn't do it if she weren't in the room and she came over to the computer to look up answers and how to do problems online and when we were done i came over and realized i left this tab open!!:bang: she definitely saw this site and now she probably knows she'll probably want to talk to me about it and i don't want to talk to her i was never planning on letting her know i was gonna come out to my friends soon but i never wanted her to know and now she does and i feel like such an idiot! :bang::bang::bang:

    Hi there! No reason to beat yourself up about it. It happened, and there is nothing you can do about it. (*hug*)

    Even though she might have seen the site, and might have her own thoughts, it is possible that she might not say anything and wait for you to be ready to let her know. How come you didn't want to come out to your mum?

    Look on the bright side: if your mom was gonna kick you out or yell at you or something for being gay, she probably would have right then and there. It'll also make coming out to her easier when you're ready to have that conversation with her. I heard a story of a boy coming out to his parents and they said "yeah we know we monitor your internet history" and that was the end of it.

    I know it sucks and you weren't ready for this but try and think about how many ways this could have gone way worse for you.

    I just really don't like my mom its not like she won't accept me or anything I dislike her for completely different reasons I was just planning on graduating high school going to college and then never seeing her again.


    Thanks for the advice, hopefully she just waits for me to bring it up

    Hi there! I'm sure it is going to be fine. Even though you don't like your mom right now, and feel that you don't want to see her again, you might still change your mind. Coming out to her might actually allow you to start forming a new relationship with her. Something to think about. (*hug*)

    I think it's time :slight_smile:. This site is great and I think your mom already visited this and looks what's inside after she saw this :slight_smile:

    That's scary, I'll admit. But the fact she didn't get mad right then seems like a good sign.

    I hope everything goes well. My heart goes out to you. :slight_smile:

    Well I'd first say,
    Take a deep breath and relax :slight_smile:

    In the end if she HAS seen it,
    And you would prefer her not to see it,
    There are many non-suspicious ways of explaining why the tab was open!

    But maybe this could be a blessing in disguise?
    As if she is willing to talk to you about it,
    And not immediately condemn you,
    Then how could it hurt if she does know?
