    I'm still shaking, but 20 min ago i came out to my mum.
    I wrote a letter and sent it to my mother. She called me back. She is the best mum in the whole world.

    me: silence
    mum: soooo... when did you realize that you are gay?
    me: since i was 5 or 6 years old
    mum: why didn't tell me?
    me: i was afraid!
    mum: of what? are you sure you are gay? maybe you just a little confused?
    me: NOOOO!!!
    mum: Maybe you need to have a baby to understand?
    me: What??? Wtf!!! Mom, are you crazy?
    mum: Maybe you need to visit a psychologist?
    me: NO, i'm ok
    mum: then i'm ok too, because i love you no matter what, do you have a girlfriend?
    me: no
    mum: don't worry about that i still love so much

    The conversation continues in the same direction... She just don't know about gay people much. But i think i can fix it. Now i'm the happiest person in the whole world. She is the best mum in the whole world. Just asked me not to tell anything to my grandparents. I never tell them. Because they grew up in Soviet times under communism and never accept it.
    Why is that spontaneous? Because I decided to write a letter in 5 minutes and it took 10 minutes.
