    Today June 31st 2013 I came out to my mom she was calmed and understood everything very well, she actually asked me if I was gay and I had to say yes! She said she kinda feels sorry for me but I told her everything was ok! In conclusion she was very comprehensive with me the problem is me I feel so ashamed and worthless and an embarrassment for my family, I don't know if that how I should feel I thought I would feel a sensation of relief but instead, but it was the opposite please give me advices I can't even look at my mom without feeling ashamed even though she's cool with it!:slight_smile: (&&&)

    First of all congratulations for you courage to come out! you done better then me. You should not feel ashamed but I understand you can't help how you feel I can't imagine my parents reactions if I told them and I am 26. At least you mother is ok with it thats the main thing and I am glad it worked out for you other then feeling ashamed around her I honestly don't think you should feel ashamed if she ok with it but I know it is how you feel and it can't be helped.

    Internalized homophobia can take a life time to over come .. Shame is natural at first

    But hopefully soon you will see that you are far more free then the straight people around you
