    glad for you Wellhidden!!! As for her big mouth... well that can be a little bit of a problem, specially if she tells people about it that you wanted to tell face to face. I would advice you ask her to keep this quite for a while until you spoke to them yourself.

    Tell her you need her support right now, and you will tell people when you are ready.

    I'm sure that she didn't mean to seem unsympathetic, you have to remember that unless she's experienced firsthand how hard coming out can be she doesn't know what you're going through. You should talk to her and explain how difficult it is for you, and share some of the emotions that no doubt are whirling around in your head. That way she may realize how important it is that she doesn't go telling everyone, and instead gives you time to do things on your own. Congratulations by the way(*hug*)

    My stepfather's reaction seemed like it completely ignored how scared and emotional I was at the time, so I understand how you feel. But, like the above posters mentioned, she might not know how to react.

    I think the important thing is that she accepts it, though. As far as her "big mouth," you might, as already stated, tell her how important it is that she not tell anyone until you're ready for them to know.

    And congratulations on coming out! I'd love to provide you with some congratulatory cookies, but I don't live anywhere near what I think is part of Australia, so (*hug*)
