    I just told my mum. Stilll shaking. Unable to type properly!...

    So it goes like this;

    I get home and she is playing brain training. lol. I have a big venting session about losing my hair, having a lump downstairs (not serious according to Doc, but have to go for a scan :icon_sad:slight_smile:, my OCD and any number of things I have been worried about the past 5 years or so that she somehow probes from me the only way a mother can. She pretty much made me feel better about everything.

    Her: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
    Me: "no..." mumble mumble
    Her: "There is isn't there"
    Me: LONG pause
    Her: "You might as well tell me"
    Me: "...I'm gay" My heart suddenly starts beating 10 times as fast.
    Her: She replies instantly, "Is this a definate thing?" blah blah blah
    Me: "Yeah" mumble mumble...

    Anyway she is fine with it and said she was so proud of me for telling her, but that it was a big deal, and that I should be careful to use protection when having "an extra special relationship with someone". That made me lol.

    Commence hugging.

    She asked if it was because she was too strong a mother figure etc. I assured her it was nothing she could have prevented.

    A weird thing is she said she felt relieved! She said she didn't really know "where I was I was coming from", and that it makes more sense now, even though she didn't think I was gay, but that she won't be telling Dad anytime soon! I ask her not to.

    Anyways, I feel so relieved. I've been try trying for a few months now to come out but couldn't decide who to tell first. Now I have told her I feel I can tell anyone.

    One down. 6 billion to go.(!)
