Coming out during a stressed time?

[Skyline]

Well, tonight it was just me and my mom, we didn't really talk much but a few times I started to tell her I was gay but just adverted it. I didn't advert it because I'm scared though... But rather because she is really stressed out... This week so many things have gone on its not funny... We're packing to move into my step-dad's, my sister is pregnant, and her job got a bit harder... The last thing I want to do is add to her stress... Do you think I should tell her? Or wait? How long should I wait...? If I tell her how might she react?

Obviously, coming out will be a great shock to her. However, you need to think about yourself, as well. Do you currently feel comfortable coming out? Do you feel it to be the right time?

I do, I feel like it is time that I start being myself. I am comfortable being gay, I accept that it may make some things harder, but I think in the long run this will make me a happier person. I have waited a while and panned out every possible situation and I think it will all be okay... but as I said I don't want her to be even more stressed.

You really have to consider yourself here. If you feel you are ready, then you are ready. I would tell her. But that's only me. You tell her when you feel ready.

What Blake said! It's YOUR choice weather or not you tell her now or later! It's whenever YOU feel ready!

as Blake and Jordan said its up to you weather you tell her or not. personally I would but thats just me. So, if you feel you are ready then go for it.

If you think all this stress will lift sometime soon then it would be ok to wait til then, but then again the sooner you tell her the sooner she will get over it and she'll have less to stress about. Your sexuality is just as important as those other things :)

I think it would be good to wait a little while before telling her (but not too long!). Wait until the stress level goes down a little and when you see an opportunity act. Best of Luck!

If you don't feel it's the right time, and she's stressed I'd wait. Don't come out for the sake of it, it might hurt to hold it in but you have to be it's the right time for YOU.

I agree with other people's comments you need to think of yourself for once, you will finally be able to be open with people :)
