So I came out to my mom tonight, and... I think it went pretty well. I just told her that I was bi and she was cool with it. She hugged me and stuff. Then started question time... y'know the standard, "How do you know?" "What if it's just a phase?" shit. Then I just let her know the problems I've been having because of it, and she want's me to go to a therapist to deal with them. For the most part she was ok, then, of course for some idiotic reason that a lot of kids like me are extremely depressed and bad things happen because of it. She asked, and I simply told her that I had some thoughts of harming myself in the past but now, they have resolved. She forewarned me of any new prejudices I might have, and how to avoid them, told me about all her gay/bi friends and how she loves them. Then came religion, basically, I have been doubting my religion from the 1st day I thought I wasn't straight. I am a strong Roman Catholic, and of course they have their own prejudices... She tried to reassure me and I think I have found a good balance in my spiritual life. Then, of course, she HAD to bring up AIDS and safe sex. I tried not to freak out and used many reliable sources to prove to her that AIDs and HIV have no more to do with homosexuality or bisexuality then heterosexuality. I don't think she believes me 100% but then again, I can't always tell what she's feeling. We had a big talk about my father who's whereabouts are completely unknown to us and my mom's boyfriend whom I know very well, and the conversation ended. I was feeling a bit claustrophobic like I always do so I told her I was going outside for a breather. When I came back in I started typing this and now I hear loud sobbing coming from my mother in her room, I don't know if it's because of me or what, I just hope she's OK and I'm glad I finally told her. Woooo... :whoops:
