Hi, I'm Jake...
So, I recently came out to both my dad, and my therapist.
But, I haven't come out to my mom yet.
I feel like this is going to be extremely difficult, though she says she's extremely open-minded.
Truth is, I'm absolutely terrified to tell her.
My dad is fine with it, which I'm grateful for.
He supports me 100%.
So, what I'm really hoping for is some advice, maybe a way to subtly bring up the subject?
That's one of my main issues, I kind of work up the nerve to, and then thoughts race through my mind, like:
How am I going to bring it up? What do I say? How do I say it? How will she react?
And basically end up talking myself out of it...
So, please, please give me some advice.
Thanks >.<

Sorry Jake, still working up to telling my own mother. What is it you're specifically afraid of? That might help guide you.
