    Got far too drunk yesterday, like puking and not being able to walk drunk :confused: so my friends carry me out and have to call my dad to come pick me up, which is pretty embarrassing at 23.

    Then I'm sat on my bed and he brings me water, so I tell him and start to cry and he hugs me and says it ok and he loves me and stuff but I can't stop crying still.

    Been meaning to tell him for about two years now but it's always been too scary. Probably telling someone this drunk isn't the best way but it meant I was able to do it at least! Was worried about what he'd think too but he came in my room this morning and we talked about it a little, so it seems ok I'm pretty happy :slight_smile:

    Not the way you wanted to do it, but it's done. Question is, how do you feel about it? Good?

    Thanks everyone :icon_mrgr

    He told my mum, she's fine with it too. Definitely not the way I should have done it but I'm not really bothered, I don't have to think about it every day anymore and it could have been a lot worse. Yes I'm pretty happy thanks Linco :slight_smile:

    Congrats man! Don't sweat it about being drunk. I was drunk when I told my 3 best friends haha. Great to hear his reaction was good too. Must be such a relief! :slight_smile:

    However you did it, out is out. If your parents have a clue, they will realize how difficult it was for you and act accordingly.

    Congratulations. The way you came out was real... your dad probably got a good idea just how hard this has been for you.
