Following on from: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/coming-out-advice/174930-advice-i-want-tell-my-stepmum.html Today I told her. I wanted to be upfront about it. "Yesterday at the dinner table, I lied." "About what?" "My sexuality.." Then I explained biromanticism to her. She wasn't exactly 'give me a big hug' but she didn't take it negatively. She basically said 'okay' and that was that. She did, however, say "remember you're 14, your feelings may change over time" I was too glad about the positive reaction to reply to that. She likes to think she's right, and I didn't want to start an argument thirty seconds after telling her something huge. She's promised not to tell my dad, but she has told me that I will have to tell him eventually (obviously). She has tried to reassure me that he is not homophobic, just uneducated. We'll see what happens when the time comes. Overall, decent reaction and now things are getting a bit better for me
You are so lucky to have such a positive reaction, I do recommend staying vigilant and open about your feelings
"remember you're 14, your feelings may change over time" As true as that is, I think she is in a slight denial, although my dad acted similarly, the difference is I'm 17 nearly an adult
