coming out gone wrong?!?!

[Tony223]

this happend around easter i finally gained about 4 months of confidence i decided to tell my mom i was bi because i didnt want to hide anything from her. so after everyone went home i sat down with her on the couch and was like mom im bi. she didnt believe me and started asking me uncomfortable questions and so basicly she said no your not bi ur heterosexual. i went along with it so she could stop askin me questions i think she wanted proof of me being bi, now she thinks im heterosexual...did your parents do something like this and how do you convince them to believe you

Your mom is denying it which is normal for many parents. They don't know how to react to the idea and some blame their parenting, others blame TV and so on.

Give her a little space so she can work it out. If she doesn't accept it, then sit her down and explain it to her once more

Honestly I think the same thing would happen if I told my parents. I think its normal for some parents to react like that, it sometimes comes as a shock to them, as they usually don't expect something like this. Just let it go for a while, let her think about it just so she gets to accept it. That's just what I think...

I would drop the subject and eventually it will come up again in the future and then you can just say " Remember when I tried....". Some parents may not be able to adjust to that thought process of one of their children being bi or gay. You are braver than I am, as I have not told my dad yet...and I am 17.

Yeah its fine hun, they just dont expect it thats all, mine were the same

thank you all for the replies and the reassurance.

i forgot to mention that 3 weeks ago i was on oovoo (video chat) with my female friend from 3rd grade. im just sitting in my room catching up on things and my mom called me to the living room to talk and the first question she asked was. is that your boyfriend or girlfriend on the phone...usually she will try and guess the names so it caught me off guard and i said girlfriend but i ment to say female friend.
does this mean shes ok with me being bi

Yea I think she understands it now but just to be sure I would ask once more if she knows that you are.... hope this helped
