And when i told her, my sister was there because she wanted to be there so they could talk, and my mom didn't react the best lets just say, and that set my sister off and they started like screaming at each other and im just sitting here wanting stuff to be ok so im yelling because everyone is yelling and i was getting upset. So basically it started off bad, then went to horrible with screaming and crying, but...in the end it went ok. Once my sis and mom stopped yelling (because they now are not on speaking terms and possilby never will be again ) i just talked with my mom quietly and in the end just asked if i had her support in this, and she told me that i did and that i was still her son and she loved me no matter who i was with, even as she really doesn't understand everything, and i don't expect her to, i just want her to be with me in this and i think she will be. So yeah on terms of coming out to my mother it was successful, but on the terms of my family staying together forever...not so much
Wait, I'm confused.. Your sister got mad at your mom because she didn't react well, and now because of that, they aren't speaking? Not quite sure how to respond to it, but congrats on finally telling her, and it just takes some time. I told my mom in March, and she still doesn't understand. Depending on your mom, she may never understand. She may love you, but she may not agree with your lifestyle, however, that's better than her not loving you anymore.
Good for you. Congratulations. Sorry about you sister and mom,though. I don't think them not speaking will last forever. ( If MY family is any indication!) They need to work it out among themselves. Don't worry too much. It'll ruin your buzz!
Well the way my mom reacted triggered problems my mom and sister have been having since before i was born, so thats the only reason why there was such an explosion there cuz it brought on like over 20 years of issues. But yeah im glad my coming out went well, im just fearful for my families structure
Sounds like business as usual with your family. Half kidding. Congrats as always. Been wondering when you'd come around to do this. XD
Be sure and print the PFLAG materials off for your mom. It will help her to understand things even better. Suggest the book "Now that you Know" to her, as well. I hope your mom and sister can patch things up. Its horrible when two people you love are at odds with eachother.
