    My mom still doesn't know, I am bisexual. I have a boyfriend and he knows he was supportive about it. But How do I tell my very judgmental mother that I am bisexual? My mom has different views about it. Please help! I think I should tell my mother. A few of my cousins know and my siblings know.

    There are so many ways to tell her, but ultimately,you know your mom best, so you know best how to tell her...

    One of my friends used the family computer open to a web page on how to deal with having a gay son, and that's how he told his family he's gay.

    I haven't told family that I'm at least bisexual... I dont know how I will... good luck

    as a mom I can say a mother's love is unconditional, I don't think my little frog could ever do ANYTHING to make me not love her...

    I'd say it would depend on how old you are, how close you are to your mother, and how you think she'll react.

    Then I'd say you can go ahead and tell her. Chances are that she'll take a cue from you. If you approach her by suggesting it's a big secret and something you're ashamed of, she'll probably respond in kind. If you treat it more like it's a simple fact, and not that big a deal, she'll be more likely to do so, too. :slight_smile:

    Yeah, I think you should go ahead and tell her too. If you have support from other people in your life and you're comfortable with who you are, then I say go ahead and do it. Good luck with it. :slight_smile:
