Came out to my mom

    I did it!

    After many failed attempts I FINALLY did it! I went to my mom and after talking to her for a few minutes about random crap I told her I had something important to talk to her about. She was worried that it was bad, but I assured her it was only a revelation I had made about myself. I continued to tell her that I had been thinking a lot for the last year and I had come to the realization that I am a lesbian. She reacted exactly how I knew she would react. She supports me 100% and she just wants me to be happy.

    I am SO relieved! I was so scared to tell her (because it make it more real, I wasn't worried about what she would say). Now I don't know what took me so long. I cried a little from the relief, it was just so intense. I feel so elated.

    I'm planning on telling my dad some time. Maybe tomorrow. I don't really feel the need to tell him, I'm just on such a high that I want to tell everyone. Hehe.

    Time to change my Facebook status. Woot woot. :grin:

    awh, you did it girl! congrats!

    I found that once I told my mom it was surprisingly easy to tell my father. I'm glad she was supportive of your decision.

    best of luck to you :slight_smile:

    I think your dad would care less.Usually mothers have big plans about their children. (like marriage also its difficult to coming out someone from your gender) and fathers worst dream their sons to be gay.I think difficult part is over.He might give bad reactions with qick temper but he will be fine in long term.Congrats and good luck.:thumbsup:

    Yeah, I am about 95% sure that he'll be supportive. I'm not very worried.

    Excellent! :slight_smile:

    And yeah, believe me, I know the fear of it becoming more real. :grin: I'm now out to my friend's parents, (which is not really the same as my own parents but they're adults anyway) and I had the shock of "it's official now" after they knew.

    Let us know how it goes with your dad!
