I came out to my mother tonight. I wasn't planning on it, but in the course of a conversation we were having, it became relevant. She was SOOOOOOO amazing. I started to panic, and she said the same thing she said a few weeks ago..."All your father and I want is for you to be happy, at peace, and not alone." I stopped her and pointed out the "not alone" part...and I could almost hear her smile. She got quiet and said "you know, nothing will change...you know that, right?" I just blurted out "What if the person I end up with isn't a guy?" She didn't say anything for a second...and then she said "So what? Will you be happy if it's a woman? THat's all that matters. NOTHING changes." It was amazing. I swear, if I could have hugged her through the phone I would have. She said she and my Dad have been talking about it for years...and that they were pretty sure as of a few years ago. She said I've never talked about having a boyfriend or even being interested in boys (she's right), and they just started piecing things together. I was a bit shocked that they've known for as long as they have. But, that made me feel better..because there wasn't any need to defend myself (which was my one big fear). So...Feb. 19th, 2013...my parents finally know who I really am...crazy. Oh..and she agrees, I need to see a different therapist...lol. Mine's kind of an ass...
Fabulous sweetheart hugs all around. Your mom is a dear as well and you know now that even as a lesbian you are loved. You are accepted by your parents. You are fully you in their home and of course it is still your home. Hugs and love angel Oh good on the therapist as well.
Fantastic news, I'm really happy it went well for you! I hope when I tell my parents when they get back from holiday in a couple of weeks that it will go half as well.
Wonderful news -- thanks for sharing with us! You have great parents.... and they have a great daughter!
It's absolutely wonderful that you came out and that your parents were waiting to for you to be ready to talk to them and let them know. I am really happy for you that your parents are supportive and want the best for you. Coming out to your parents and have one weight lifted off your shoulders might help you to begin to turn the page on other things as well. (*hug*)
Thanks everyone. I just talked to her again (we talk nightly), and she said she filled my Dad in today. I knew she would...so it's cool. I guess he said to her "Okay...so will she be happy now? I just want her to be happy." My parents apparently rock. :icon_bigg
