    ok in this case she isnt really my mom. She's actually my best friend's mom. I've called her mom since the day i met her.
    I came out to her today. I wasn't in the best of moods and my bff was at school. (they moved a few weeks ago to a different state) so i was texting her using my real mom's phone. We started texting, saying how much she misses my partner and I being with them. I told her to fly us out.
    After that I simply said, "You would allow a gay in your home right?" She asked me if i was serious i said yes. She asked if i thought it through and how long did i know, i said yes & 4th grade. She then asked me uf her daughter (my friend) knew. I said yes. I asked if i was kicked iut of my home if i could live with them, Mom replied (copied from text) "You are always welcome in my home no matter what. I said when we left it was the hardest to leave you and R. You are welcome no matter who you are and what your sexual orientation is :slight_smile: "
    This made my entire day. Now for my real family....

    If your biologically family doesn't support you, your best friend's family is your real family. It's more than just blood.

    I hope it goes well, but even if it doesn't-look at the awesome person who's going to stand by you, no matter what.

    Family is more than blood. Your family is the people who will love you and care about you no matter what.
    If your biological family doesn't stand by you, then your friend's family is your true family.
    Good luck. I hope it goes well for you.

    It's good to hear that you have a safety net should you decide to come out to your parents and have things not go well with them. I'm kind of jealous to be honest. Do you think she would adopt me? :lol:
