So far, two people know I'm questioning my orientation. My sister and my mom. I had a pretty good conversation with my mom yesterday, because I know she will always accept me, but my dad grilled her about what we were talking about last night. She eventually lied to him for me, and said I was questioning my faith, which is also true. Now she feels horrible, and I feel horrible for making her feel horrible, but my dad isn't a very open or accepting person, so I don't want to talk to him until I start getting a solid idea of who I am. Things are weird.
Hi there! Welcome to EC! It's understandable that you are feeling horrible, but maybe try to speak with your mom when you have a moment with her alone, and thank her again. Your mom didn't lie as such. She still spoke the truth when she mentioned that you are questioning your faith - maybe try to reiterate that. It's more about what part of the truth she revealed. Things have a way of working out, and you have taken a big step by coming out to your mom and sister. Glad to read that you had a good conversation and that she is accepting. (*hug*)
Thank you for the welcome, the internet hug, and the advice Mirko. I think I'll try that and hope for the best.
