    I came out to my parents and their response was amazing!!!!!

    I had a letter prepared for them but I ended up talking with them. I was nervous but in the end I was able to say everything I wanted to say. Their response was amazing! They gave me hugs and said, you have to live your life. It is important that you are happy with who you are. We believe in you. We talked a little bit, and my parents were wondering at times and suspecting that I might be gay. They were waiting for me to say it.

    I invited them for dinner...............I am sooooooo happy. I am out of the closet....finally! :slight_smile:

    I really need tp thank you guys (Becky, Jim, Lex, Louise, Paul) for your support and advice leading up to it. I also owe a big thank you to my sister, counselor, and friends who have accepted me and shown me that it is okay to be who I am. (*hug*)


    I am finally myself around everyone that is important to me in my life. Now, bring me that horizon.....:slight_smile:

    This is AWESOME!!!!!!! I am so so so so so so so so so so so happy for you! It's so nice to hear of your parents being supportive, when you've been almost like a supporting parent to so many on EC!
