    So I went home to visit family for a few days... Out for a drive with my mom & she asks something about my husband. I forget what it was, but it gave an opening to casually tell her that I think I'm gay.
    She asked a couple questions to clarify- she could relate to hating sex, but could hardly believe that I might prefer women. I asked if she wanted to disown me. She said "No, why would I do that? You're the one who has to answer to God":confused:
    And then we went back to planning a wedding shower for my youngest brother & his fiancee. (Which mom is totally turning into a circus...)
    So I guess everything is as normal as it ever is

    Congrats on telling her :slight_smile:

    Maybe it isn't the best reaction, but it leaves space for you to talk to her about it later on when you feel the need. For now, be proud of having the courage to tell her and start living your life!
