Let me start off by saying: I finally did it. I came out to my mother . After this experience I'm wondering why I waited so long and made such a big deal out of it. Thank you everyone who's given me advise on how to do it and helped me out in the past few years! I took her to subway and showed her a pic of this guy I have been going out with and then a note on my phone that said "That guy was Adam and tomorrow night I have a date with him." after a few questions back and forth she got it and said she already had an idea. It feels so great to be out and my mom is awesome and neither of us cried!!! Edit: almost forgot, I also had to explain why gay guys still use condoms :eusa_doh:
Congratulations! I'm surprised that neither of you cried - out of relief (not sadness). I guess that shows how far you've come in accepting yourself. It's always a funny feeling knowing that all the past stress and anxiety was ungrounded but you can only know what you know at the time. You've got the rest of your life to live freely and openly now, so try to forget about the past and live in the present and look forward to the future. Peace be with you and congratulations again.
Congratulations dude. So glad to hear your mom was accepting. And I know right - when your parents accept it so smoothly, it's so easy to wonder, "Why did I not do this sooner?!" Oh well - you at least did it now.
