    Yes!!!!! I did it! I can't believe it. I had the most unexpected results for living with a homophobic family. I only came out to my mom though. But ya know, gotta keep the snowball rolling. So I saw a whole lot of happy couples today. And so many lovely families at the mall. Sooooo. I thought I had the courage to come out. I came out on paper and handed it to her. I feel like my sadness is completely gone. I'm literally shaking in joy. I'm so Happy rn. Woohoo! Ah. I wish I could express how relieved I am now ah. :lol:

    Thanks everyone. I was expecting the worst. After I handed my mom the paper, I ran in my room. Then she came in and talked to me. Now she asks me questions and talks everyday about it. I'm happy that she accepted me but, her bringing this topic up is starting to get stressful. She's asking me stuff like. "Who do you like at school" "how do you know you like boys" "do you feel anything different for boys and girls". Its killing me and its only been 2 days.

    She's a mom. She's trying to process this. Remember, we moms have expectations for our kids and when those expectations are turned upside down, it can take us time to get used to them. Try to embrace the questioning, because she's trying to understand and process. Or if you think you could, tell her you want to help her understand and you want to answer her questions, but it might be easier if she wrote them down and you could set aside a time to discuss them all at once. That might put you both at ease.

    Communication is essential to support, and I'm glad she's supportive and communicating. :slight_smile: So happy for you.

    Congrats! It's definitely a great feeling being out. Your mom asking questions is, or in my case has been normal. I came out a couple of months ago at 27 and for a couple of weeks all my mother did was ask questions. Yes it can be awkward, stressful, and even annoying. It will pass just takes a while. It just means she cares enough to be interested in your life. Good luck!
