    Hi i'm trying to find a way i can tell him. Is it okay that my mom does it instead. She knew before i did. I feel writing it on paper im still to scared to give him the note.
    What should i do.

    Personally, I don't think that's so bad. Could you maybe sit together with both of them and have your mom sort of lead the conversation? Maybe have the letter ready to hand over to him.
    Are you worried he'll react badly? Or ...?
    I think moral support is always good to have.

    I agree. Chances are your parents have already had a discussion on this before, especially since your mom knew even before you did. Ask her if she's ever mentioned it to him. Then ask her to be there with you when you tell him
