Should I Come Out To My Family? Or At Least My Mother?

[RandomChick242]

Okay, so over time I've accepted that I'm bi and have come out at school. The thing is that my family doesn't know. I thought that my mom knew once cause I had been writing like a dairy thingamabober about my sexuality and such and she had to check all of my documents on my computer so then the next day I asked her something that turned into accepting people or something and she said yes. But so far it doesn't really seem like it lol My friend has been telling me to come out to her but I still don't want to lol Ya see, I come from a religouse family (I also don't believe in God lol) and you know how most freakishly religouse ppl are (no offense) so yeah.... Also I don't think anybody in my family is gay or bi =__= So basicly my moms side of my family is pretty cool and all but I'm still not sure......and I doubt I'll come out to my father's side till I'm like 18 or something. So yeah basicly I'm asking for your opinion on whether or not I should come out to my family, or at leats my mother. THNX!

I would just come out to my mom since she pretty much gave you a talk on that how it you were in the closet and if you decided to come out she would be cool with it. Also if you and your mom can come out with an agreement that only she knows and the other family members don't have to know that would be even better. Good Luck

I think you should just tell her, and just be like "I am sti the same" so she will understand

I suppose you're right, but she didn't excactly say tat, I asked her if she was accepting of people or something and she said "Yeah I'm accepting of people, you know I had to read some of your documents for school." So that made me think that she knew lol.

Ok I got another idea, I would try to just "read" her to see what her reactions are to people in your situation. Like say a friend (ya I know it's the oldest one in the book) and one of two things. She's going give you advice to tell your friend and as a mother she would give advice like she would give her own child (aka u) or she real realize the trick and tell you something, idk if it's going to be disapproval or approval. Also if you have any siblings use them as an example like mom what would you do if Ashly was gay or bi and she what she would say bc that might be her reaction to you

i looked at it like this when i told my mom she is the only person in this world that i know will never stop loving me...When i told my mom that i was gay she was shocked at first and it took her a min to let it sink in, but she told me she knew for a long time....idk i think that if your mom is cool...she won't care...just tell her

If shes religious, and so is your whole family, and even "freakishly religious" like you say she understands compassion and that Love is what is important.

Plus, she's your mom, she's going to love you no matter what. If you do tell her, chances are there is going to be less tension between you two, you won't have to hide anything. I say do it :)

Do yourself a favor and tell her that you are confused about what you feel. Mothers know best and she will help you no matter what.
