I just came out to my Mum. It was amazing!! Basically... I went out for dinner with her tonight, and was thinking I could tell her then. But the dinner ended up being rushed and I didn't get to it. I spoke to her on the phone tonight, and I just had to say it. It felt like it was time. Ideally I wouldn't have done it on the phone, but it's just how it happened. We spoke for over an hour (on mobile phones... oops!). I started by telling her that there was something I wanted to say (which she already kinda knew). Strangely enough, when I asked her what she thought it might be, she said "I dunno, you're a lesbian?" HAHA! I actually said "no" to that, because I was so surprised. But then later on when I finally decided to tell her, I was able to say, "well you were kinda on the right track before..." She didn't actually expect it, I think it was a coincidence that she asked that question. Anyway, she didn't want to hang up. She was SO HAPPY! It was odd. She was so glad that I told her, and she said that she just wanted me to be happy. It meant so much to her that I could share it with her. I made it clear that I was still a bit confused about my sexuality, and that's why I had been worried about telling her. It was all fine. She said she doesn't care if I tell her and then come home with a boyfried one day. So yeah... wow, long post sorry (and very muddle, like my thoughts right now!). But it's great. I feel very happy about it. Thanks if you read this far (or even if you just read the title and wrote 'congrats' - lol)
Aww congratulations thats fantastic, that calls for some of these (!) (!) (!!) (!) (!) and some of these (*hug*) (*hug*) (*hug*)
Read your whole post, and congratulations! It is a nice feeling when they're fine with it. My parents also told me that if I later told them I had a girlfriend, that would be fine too, though they didn't expect it as I had firmly told them I was gay, it was just their way of saying that they didn't mind as long as I was happy. I think parents can know that if we start saying "There's something I have to tell you", it could well be this, or something of this nature. My father said that he thought that's what it was when I said it, even though they both said that it hadn't crossed their mind until that day. Either that, or that I was telling them my sister was pregnant. Anyway, that's me babbling on. Point is, I'm glad it went well.
That's a great story. I love it when people, (especially parents) are so accepting. Congratulations! Your mom sounds like aces!
Congratulations! Parents wishing happiness to their children in any form makes me happy Congratulations again!
