I finally did it, tonight I told both my parents and they took it quite well. My mom was just like "yeah, surprise..." and my dad sat quietly for half an hour, but when he left he just said "don't think this gets you out of giving us grandchildren with the family name" (I'm the only boy out of three girls), so it's great that they both took it so comfortably. That was also one of my biggest concerns, not that they'd reject me, but they would treat me slightly different and I would never be able to go back to the sort of amiable relationship that we've had previously, so I'm incredibly glad that that's not the case. God, it's so great to get that off my chest and be done with perhaps one of the biggest hurdles of my life, so yay, I'm happy!
Congrats! I was going to come out last night to my parents but they sorta fell asleep when I planned to do it. And now my dad is out of town. =/
(!) :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap (!) Congatulations !!! (!) :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap (!) Thats really great suburbs !! I'm so glad it went so well with your parents and your dad took it so well, even placed a joke Here
That's really great and it sounds like everything is going to be ok, which is brilliant!! Congratulations, must have taken loads of courage, but now you've done it and you don't have to go through that with your parents ever again, but get to just be yourself!!
Congrats!!! It's really hard to tell your parents but you did very well!!! I'm happy that they're accepting and that you had the courage to come out to them! :eusa_clap
Congrats! That was funny that your dad said it doesn't get you out of giving them grandchildren. Parents say the darndest things sometimes.
Shveet. Nice job. I'm really scared of telling my parents. Like, they already pretty much know (it doesn't help that my sister is like: "SO. LET'S GO SHOPPING. 'COS YOUR GAY. DID EVERYONE HEAR THAT? YOU. LOVE. MEN." well, she doesn't do just that, but she might as well be) but still, the thought of making it official sortof makes me wet myself.
I'm with you siateac.... telling my parents is .... AHHHH!!! i literally shudder when i think of it... i've even cried just for thinking about what their reactions might be... Anyways grats Sodom I'm glad it went so well
Hurray! That's a wonderful story. So glad it went well for you and that you have parents that love you so unconditionally.
Thanks all! I'm really happy, it couldn't have turned out better. Of course, after telling my parents, I realized that I wasn't out to as many friends as I thought. But oh well, the biggest hurdle is done!
