    So today, I spent the entire afternoon with my mother. I don't know why, but I guess the fact that it was just the two of us and I've been really itching to tell somebody that made me tell her today.

    It was on my mind every minute, waiting for the best time when I felt the most comfortable. Eventually I told her I needed to tell her something. And she opened her ears.

    I explained it starting from when I started to have feelings for my sister's gay friend and went on from then. I told her I'm bicurious and think i might be bisexual. Surprisingly, she laughed after that. She said that's completely ok and she loves me no matter what.

    Now that she knoww, I feel relieved because I don't have to be so secretive. It a weight off my shoulders that I'm glad is gone.

    Congrats! The feeling is simply amazing. I came out to my mom almost 2 months ago. I was on a high of some sorts after the initial worry of telling her. You just feel so free, and so relieved afterwards.

    That's awesome! It feels nice when people let you know that they genuinely care for you unconditionally.

    Cool! My mum had much the same reaction when I came out as curious, and now that I know I am rampantly bisexual she still loves me, and we've grown closer than ever.

    I think my dad's in denial though.

    That's great! Right before I came out I burst into tears haha my mom asked what was wrong I thought I had said "nothing" but I said "I'm gay" and she just laughed she was like "thats why you're crying?" Haha she said it was ok and we continued watching the game xD
    But I'm happy that I have such an accepting family!
    Well good luck and again congratulations :grin:
