    ok... mine didn't.

    I told my mother that I needed to talk to her, it was late so we postponed the conversation. We went to a quiet bar, and there I gave a little speech, and finally came out to her. She didn't even cry, she didn't try to blame herself (nor my father), she was really accepting, and it only hurted her that she didn't realize the struggle I was in. I will make a post later (in a few days) with a little insight I had on that. It was wonderful. And a lot easyer than I thought it would be.

    ok, midnight, that's my cue to go to bed... just felt like sharing this with you all.

    bye.

    Me too

    My mom also didnt see it coming at all. She only felt bad because she had always viewed me as the one son of hers with "inner Peace" and never realized that i was rather troubled with this. So I guess she felt bad because she couldn't see it in the first place.

    Hey Goratrix,

    That's really cool that telling your mum went so well.

    I think my mum knew but didn't really "know." That is, it wasn't a huge shock in one sense but it was in another. Denial is a weird thing.
     
  4. I'm with joey; my mom knew but didn't. Before I came out to my parents, I told my older sister and asked her for advice on how to tell my mom and dad. I asked her if she thought they suspected, and she told me that my mom and she were talking about homosexuality one day when my mom asked her, "Do you think your brother is gay?" to which she replied honestly that she didn't know.

    When I did come out to my parents, I mentioned that I thought they must have at least suspected. After all, they did catch me looking at gay porn on the Internet once in high school. I mean, get a clue. But my mom said, "No, I never suspected it." (Liar!) My dad was more forthright, saying, "Yes, I have wondered." Haha... That's so like him.

    You're right, joey; denial is sooooo weird.

    I phoned my mom for her brithday. We chatted, and then she asked "Hey, are you in love by any chance?" and I said "Yeah, I met someone two weeks ago, and I'm enjoying it". She said: "Hope that it is guy this time, its about time you realise your'e gay"...

    My mom knew!

    one sunday morning at the breakfast table, my mum asked me "that guy X, he is your boyfriend, right?" i almost spilled my milk. she had seen him only twice .. and i said "sure he is a friend" "and she said .. no i mean boyfriend .. like partner". i took some extra time to chew what i had in my mouth, and finally replied with yes.
