Coming out to my mother

[jrl719]

So, I'm totally gay and proud, and my Freshman year was a total improvement from my 7th and 8th grade experiences. This may sound corny, but when I came out, it felt like the atmosphere at school became less dark. Like everywhere I went was brighter... So, that was just a long explanation telling you that I'm gay and happy and stuff like that.

My real problem is telling my parents. I know my brother knows without me actually telling him because his friends sister, who is in my grade, told me that he talks to her sister about it. (Brother talks to my friends sister) Which is kinda not good, having my brother talk about it behind my back. I've already sorta brought out some questions in a humorous way being like "Oh would you care if I were gay" and my brother and Mom said no. I really don't care on my Fathers opinion, frankly, I could care less if he died, he's another story though.

So, any help with coming out to my mom?:yes: :what:

P.S. If there are any stupid typo's it's because it's 4:50 in the morning, and I'm tired lol

Frankly, I need to come out to my mom as well, but when I told my dad it was like a weight lifting off my shoulders. I texted him, saying that I have something important to tell him when he gets home. So then when he got home, he sat down and I came out with it. It was simple and painless. Because of a situation I am in, lets say, it wasn't exactly unexpected so I think that helped, but if you are honest with yourself, I think you should just sit her down, tell her you need to talk and take the direct approach. I wish you luck, if you have questions, PM me. :D

just sit your mom down and explain to her how you feel
it may be hard at first but you will feel so much better once the pain of hiding has gone away

You could always write a letter.
Thats what I did and I left for my parents on a weekend when I was going to be away so they would have time to like "digest" it. Even if you dont write a letter tell her about pflag and make sure to remember that just like you had come to accept yourself so does your mom it took mine a whilee to say she accepts me fully and it may be awkward for a little while but it will go away just give it time.
Stay positive and good luck!
