    I told my mom just a little while ago that I was a lesbian. It feels so real and like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. I know I'll have many more people to come out to, including my brother (which shouldn't be too horrible...) and my homophobic father (which will probably be awful...) but for now I can celebrate the fact that my mom knows.

    I started crying and she freaked out, thinking I was going to/did something awful since I've been asking her for the past couple of days if she'd love me no matter what. When I finally blurt it out, she hugged me and told me she'd love me no matter what, that she just wants me to be happy, and sure of what I feel. I told her I was and hugged me again.

    It feels so surreal. I have the best mom in the whole world.

    Congratulations on coming out to your mom! I can imagine that things still seem a little surreal. At times, we will built up an imagine in our minds, not entirely sure how it will turn out, only to be surprised in the most pleasant way imaginable.

    Wonderful that it went so well, and that your mom is so supportive. :slight_smile:

    Congrats! I'm glad to hear it went so well. I have no doubt that for most people parents are by far the toughest.

    Congratulations! Talking to my parents is one goal still far from my reach, so I can understand what a big deal this must be to you.

    Congratulations! Best of luck with everyone else but at least you know you have one person who accepts you now.

    Congratulations! I just told my dad last night so I can definitely relate to the feeling of removing the weight of the world from your shoulders. That's awesome that she was so supportive and I hope that it goes that smoothly as you continue to tell more and more people.
