    So I didn't tell my mom yesterday... but I told her today!

    It took a long time for me to gather the courage to go up and talk to her. I finally walked up to her while she was in the kitchen, and said "I've wanted to talk to you about something for a long time, but I've been putting it off. I wrote you this letter and I would like you to read it." Then I handed her a letter that I wrote this past summer (it's on here somewhere). she read it, and as she did she looked up and said "are you sure?" I told her yes, and to keep reading. It tooter her three tries to get through the whole thing. When she finally finished she said that she just wanted me to be happy. She told me that i have made her so proud, and she wants only the best for me. We hugged, and cried, and talked about it for a while. My sister came in and talked about it too. It was great! I feel so relieved.

    I can never express the love and appreciation I have for you all, here on empty closets. You have all helped me accept myself, and become a stronger individual.

    Much Love,
    -Chris

    That's great that you told her, and even better that she was so supportive. From her response, I'm guessing it was a surprise? Did she give any indication she suspected? If not, it's all the more wonderful that she was so immediate in her acceptance.

    Congrats in any case!! :slight_smile:

    Thanks guys! when I first handed her the letter, she asked me if I got arrested. We laughed about it later, and she said I thought maybe you got someone pregnant. I'm so happy that she is supportive.
