Okay, so I have decided that I'm going to talk to my Mom this weekend. Needless to say I'm freaked out. One minute I'm confident and thinking that in the end I will be SO HAPPY that I finally did it...and then the next I feel sick to my stomach and just want to back out. I wrote a letter explaining everything, though I don't think I actually want to give her the letter to read - it's more about having it with me to make sure I say everything I need to say. Anyway, just thought I'd share that. I'm scared!!!!! I'm 99% sure she will be supportive...but I also know it's going to be really hard on her, that's the part that hurts me! My Mom has an insanely stressful job, her family is kind of insane and leans on her for EVERYTHING, and she just tries to please everyone...the result is that she's always really stressed out. I hate that I'm about to add one more thing to her plate.
You definitely could have just described my mother. Most of the time though through all the stress mothers still want to be there and supportive of their kids. That's how my mom was. I thought it was gonna be a disappointment, but it ended up being the complete opposite. I think you'll be alright =] good luck.
(*hug*)Best wishes goes out for you dude.... when its all said and done... you know that it was for the best!
Good luck! Hope all goes well and I hope you have enough courage to do it! But it can be so rewarding...
Those of us,who have come out,can so relate to what you're going through. It may be one of the scariest things you have to do. Having said that,you say you think your mom will be okay with it. That's definitely a huge plus. Remember,she's your mom and she loves you,unconditionally. I give you much credit for wanting to share this part of you,with her. I wish you the best. I think,once you do this,you'll feel a great sense of relief. Please,let us know how it goes. We care.
