    I just told my mom I'm gay.

    She was reading and I told her I had something to say. I've never actually said "I'm gay" before and that was the hardest part.

    I broke down but she was really great about it. I'm still crying, although I do feel relieved.

    It's just such a big change.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! :eusa_danc
    That was probably one of the hardest things you have ever done. :eusa_clap
    You are amazingly strong for being able to do that.:icon_bigg
    I am very happy it went so well.(*hug*)

    Ah! That is great that she was accepting! I understand the crying and being shaken up part. It is a HARD thing to do and that really weighs down on a person. I am so happy for you :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

    That's really great! And yes it is a bit of a weird feeling having your parent(s) finally know. I remember feeling a bit awkward and "naked" in a sense around them shortly after since they knew my big "secret." But thankfully after a short time things seem to normalize back to how they were. :slight_smile:

    That's awesome! Congrats! I'm glad that your mom is accepting!!

    It is weird to know that your mom knows. I had the same feeling after I came out to my mom. After a while, things went back to normal for me.

    Many thanks to all of you! I knew she would be accepting, but telling her was still so hard
