I came out to my parents recently. My dad was awesome. He talked with me and made it very clear that he wasn't ashamed of me. It seemed he was speaking for my mother as well. But since I came out with my parents, my mom hasn't said a word about me being gay. It is driving me nuts. I want to talk to her about it because I need to know if she is upset about it. But of course she's upset, right? So now I am back to the whole, "I hate myself for being gay; maybe I should jump off a fucking cliff" feeling. Any advice on how to get my mom to communicate with me?
How does one communicate? By talking. Talk with her. Maybe she is reluctant to bring it up because she's picked up on your obvious awkwardness around her. I went through something similar.
