Lex,

tried to come and find you in the chatroom but just missed you. Sorry you feel so cut up about this. Somehow you either have to take the risk and come out to her or choose to keep quiet for a bit longer. From what some of the other guys have written I get the impression that Australia is probably a bit more hostile to gays & bis than the UK. That must make it difficult. But hopefully your mum loves you for who you are and will always love you no matter what.

One alternative, not sure whether its a good idea or if anyone else has done it this way, would be to write her a note or a letter.

Its a tough thing. I'm still in the closet mate. Good luck.

WHOA! Telling your parents is a big step, you're right to question it. Just take it slow and make a plan here, part of which should be understanding why you need to tell her now and what you're hoping to gain. These are important questions to resolve in your mind first, that way you're better able to tolerate whatever happens. Try not to respond to the urge without giving it some thought and resolving some of these issues!

No need to tell 'em, but if they'll accept it then you can, it's your choice.
