Last Thursday, even though it was nerve-wracking, I managed to come out to my mom. I explained to her that I've had feelings for girls in the past, and she readily accepted. She did seem a little nervous, but heck, I was nervous too! The only bit that concerned me was that she kept saying I should not completely give up on boys... but I suppose it's normal for her to want a straight daughter. Since then, I've been being far more open with her than I usually am. She even asked me if I 'like liked' a girl I was talking with her about. (She just *happened* to be correct, as well!) This is all much easier than I expected. :icon_bigg
congrats really happy for u you are right mums always partly want straight children like i always say they are raised to want church wedding and kids but your her daughter she does love you and is very perceptive about this girl prob how you were talking about her or the far out spacey dreamy look which betrays us lol i hope you can continue to be open with your mum this will make your relationship stronger
Congratulations! It sounds like everything is going to be fine with your Mom. The statement about not giving up on boys may just be a form of denial that is not quite so severe as some of the other mothers we've heard about.
