    Earlier my mom asked me if she could ask a question and I said no. After talking to my friends they encouraged me to tell her because she already knew and it was probably the best opportunity I would get to come out to her. I went in her room and I was shaking and I asked her what her question was. She asked me if I was ready to answer and I said I guess. She asked me if I am more interested in girls than boys and I said yes. I really started crying and I don't even really know why. She said she loves me and it doesn't change anything. I can't believe it just happened. I took a shower and cried some more lol. Now she just came in and asked me about my eye doctors appointment tomorrow. I guess everything is back to normal? lol I feel like it didn't even really happen like I just made it up. I don't know how I feel I am relieved but I feel weird. I wish I hadn't cried but I guess I couldn't help it.

    That was amazing! Gratz to you. Must have taken a ton of courage to tell her that.

    Give your mom a big hug from me too! I wish my mom would react that way... I'm still not out to my parents because I'm sure it won't go well.

    thank you guys!! We haven't mentioned it since it happened and I feel a little awkward about that, but I am happy that it went well regardless. I don't really know where to go from here though, I think people in my family know but are waiting for me to say it. My aunt is especially pushy. Should I tell my sister the next time I see her?

    Congrats!!!! :slight_smile: There really isn't a better thing you can hear in the world after baring your soul like that and hearing "I love you and accept you for who you are."
