ok so ive decided that it would be best for my health, mental, physical and emotional, to tell my mom soon. sooooo i have a set plan! -im going to look into pflag for my mom before hand -im going to sit her down and say, "i love you and i konw you love me. i know that you will do anything for me so i need you to listen...." -i listen to what she has to say and ether way she reacts give her the pflag stuff. -im getting a group of friends to meet me at my house a little after i asy someting. we are gonna go out for a dinner and stuff, just in case the reaction is bad to cheer me up. and if its good then im gold and im having a good night. sooo im nervous, excied, happy afraid, and pretty much every other way of saying it. if anyone has ANY suggestions or tips or anything, i could really use it. i really want this to work well!!!
Thats how I felt when I told my parents. I was getting stressed out in NOT telling them. You may want to give her the booklet 'Our daughters, Our Sons'. Its a booklet explaining homosexuality to parents. Good luck! You will feel so much better. It will be like a ton of bricks lifted off of you shoulders.
It's definitely scary when your plan to come out stops being a vague notion and becomes concrete...but it sounds like a good plan!! Best of Luck!!! Let us know how it goes!!!
sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders,and i'm sure everything will work out for you,good luck,we are routing for you.
Wow! *clap clap* You have things together Good plan! I hope everything goes well (*hug*) keep us updated! As for some tips... - I found it important to back myself into a corner before hand so i HAD to tell them. You can feel great about it one minute, then get cold feet the next. I basically told them i had something important to discuss so that i had to tell them. - Try and practice answering some common questions people get when they come out to there parents ("You might get aids and die!" or "How do you know?" and ect. ect.)
The very best of luck to you. Those of us that are out have been where you are,now. Thank God,in this day & age,we have PFLAG and so many different outlets. I really hope it goes well for you. Congratulations !
HI! I think you have a really good plan and it sounds like you gave it a good amount of thought. And i love the friend idea! That was what I did for my friend who came out a month ago and it worked great. Good luck!
I can't find anything wrong with your plan at all. Well done and good luck. By the way - can I steal your plan maybe??????
hell if it helps use it, abuse it, do w/e with it lol. i just want it to work. so far ive talked to a few ppl and i got like 4 on board! im so exited!!!
I second Greg's "paint yourself into a corner" idea. I had it all planned out for this weekend, only to meet with a formidable fiasco. That is to say: it was a very nice weekend, but I kept getting cold feet. So don't make that mistake, and find a way to make it irreversible.
this is bad. im already getting cold feet i mean one big reason im doing it is so i can be with my bf more. but i dont want to do it for him, i want to do it for me. and someone has just entered my life that would be kinda nicer. idk what to do.
Just spit it out. They're gonna find out eventually. hell, my parent's already knew. That blew my fucking mind. It WILL HAPPEN make it on your terms.
