    Im in quite the good mood right now because last night at like 1 AM I told my mom and step-dad that not only am I at least bisexual (leaning muchly toward girls... very very much) but I also have a girlfriend as of a few days ago who I like just completely insanely. I really wanted to do this conversation with them sooner than later mostly for my girlfriend because I didn't feel like it was fair to her that I was hiding us from anyone. I definately feel lucky because it was a fairly easy conversation. I cried. A lot. But I actually didn't have to really say very much because as soon as I told them I had to tell them something they told me they already knew. So I've learnt that I am not talented in the way of hiding all of the non-straightness that I possess :lol:

    I was really scared leading up to the conversation because my stepdad tends to be rather uncomfortable with anything he sees as strange. Lets just say he has a big mouth about it. He was very open to the whole conversation though which I was really happy about.

    I only see my father every few weeks or so, so him and my sister who lives with him are the next in line to tell next time I see them in person. Other than that mostly everyone either knows or doesnt really matter at this point. So I'm excited! Yay.
    Sorry Ive been rambling. I just wanted to say it and this seemed like the right place :slight_smile:

    Awwww!!! That's so awesome!!! I'm glad they were so understanding!!! Also it really helps having a significant other as your support. I'd want to wait before I'm in a relationship before I let my parents know. It just seems like it would be less stressful that way. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Congratulations; I'm quite envious, I'm still trying to work out the details of telling my parents, nut it's really reassuring to read other people's success stories :grin:.
