    Hey, welcome to the forum...Thats great that youve come out to ur mum and that shes really supportive...its a bugga about ur dad tho. Do u live with ur mum or dad or both(as in sometimes dads sometimes mums)?...if you live with both maybe after u come out to him, u should stay with ur mum for a while, just to lt him cool off and give him time to think about it. And maybe have a look at the sticky threads at the top of the Support and Advice section...that might also help a bit

    Again, welcom to the forum, hope u enjoy it here

    Can you write him a letter and send him some information at the same time?

    I was going to say to write him a letter, but Becky beat me.
    It's how I told my mom. I knew she wouldn't be thrilled so I figured a letter would let me say everything I had to and she'd have to hear it.
    So I'd write him a letter. And on the last day you're with him or so (the next time you're with him) I'd give it to him. That way if he reacts badly (though I hope he doesn't) you won't be with him. It'll also give him time to think about it and he can call you and talk about it. You'll also have some time to get used to him knowing, no matter how he takes it.
    Hope everything goes okay for ya hun!
