They may have seen my coming out letter on my computer

    My parents just got back from camping and just began unpacking, and I noticed that my computer was left on, and my coming out letter was on the screen. I don't know if they read it or not, but I'm still kind of scared if they did.
    They didn't mention anything to me about it or anything, so maybe they didn't, or maybe they're just waiting for me to approach them. :confused:

    Well... That may have solved the problem of self-motivating to approach them. Though the uncertainty must be killing you.

    Hopefully this turns out to be a good thing for you, bro.

    Was it finished?

    The letter itself was finished, though I did want to do a Q&A along with it, oh well. :confused:
    I do kind of hope they did read it, just to get it over with, but I wish they'd say if they did or didn't.

    I'm guessing that since they didn't say anything either (1) they didn't read it or (2) they read it and it doesn't upset them. Unless it bothers you so much that you can't take it anymore, I would take this as a victory and let it go. If you come out to them on your own terms later, you can ask them one day if they read it

    I guess the weird thing is, I don't remember unlocking my computer (it has no password anyways) or having the word document up. I distinctly remember I minimized the page before putting it to sleep.

    I do have a feeling it wouldn't upset them too much, but I guess I'll wait a bit and see if they change the way the approach or address me.
