Hi everyone so okay I finally came out to my mom. I was like "Mom I need you to brace yourself for what I am about to tell you" and as soon as I said it she was like "Go ahead I'm braced". Well I told her and you know what she said? She said she already knew. She said she had repeatedly thought to ask me but lost her nerve everytime. She said there were a lot of little indicators, but she wasn't sure, and then today I did something and she noticed me popping out of my shirt :\ she said she was going to ask after that cuz she was almost positive.

She told me even though she doesn't understand everything she will support me and help me get to a doctor so I can stop doing DIY. She said she understands why I feel like I have to do this and just wants me to be healthy when I do and will find me a therapist and an endo ASAP. She also told my dad and she said he actually said "Ok, whatever" and just said to make sure I know he can't afford to help with the surgery XD Grr that is SO my dad, lolz.

All in all I am very pleased with their response. It really wasn't awkward at all surprisingly. It just was!

I am surprised how little I am feeling right now. One thing is relief, but I am not super happy or sad. I guess it's cuz it's what I expected and I know there's still a LOT of work to be done. But it's nice to know no matter what I have their support and a place to stay.

Aww, this made me smile.  I'm glad it went so well for you.  It's nice to have parental support.  Kudos on you and great job on coming out. :)  Don't worry on being calm.  It went well, so it shouldn't make you too emotional.  Later tonight I will post my coming out story with my mom yesterday, then you will see why you should be calm,lol.

Awe. I'm so glad your parents are being supportive. It sounds like she was so ready for you since she already knew. It's always good when parents pay attention to there kids and aspects of there lives. If shows good signs :)

My mom and I have always been eerily linked and I have been telling everyone "Trust me, my mother knows". Well, it came as no surprise. We are very close and I honestly think....at the end of the day this transition just might bring us closer <3 I hope soo..

@learningtolive,

aww, please do NOT tell me it went bad. I really hope it went well for you cuz I saw how you were stressing <3
When it comes to a good mom like yours of course this will bring you two closer together. It's a good bond :)
