    Hi :slight_smile:

    So today I did the scariest thing I've ever had to do, I came out to my Mam. It went unbelievably well :grin: I'm so happy and relieved!

    I sobbed like a baby, but felt so much better after. I kept it bottled up inside for so long and keeping it from her was eating me up.

    She basically said all the right things that I'd longed to hear, that she loved me and it didn't change anything and she just wants me to be happy. She even said she has suspected I was gay since I was about 18 and hinted over the years that she knew, but I just never picked up on it :lol:

    So, yeah. I still have a long way to go. There's my Dad, for starters. But, for now, I'm over the moon :icon_bigg

    That's what I hope so too. I kept quiet for so long because I was convinced it was going to be this nightmarish thing and it really wasn't. Hopefully, someone else's coming out will go as smoothly as mine did. Thanks :slight_smile:
