In a slighty buzzed stooper, I've managed to come out to my mother in a text. Now we wait!

Quote from: Alyssa Rae on May 05, 2014, 02:53:35 AMI sure hope you caught Auto Correct mistakes in your text. Otherwise it might read I have decided to become a Toyota or something! ;D Good luck sweetie! I hope it goes well for you. 🙂

Quote from: Jessica Merriman on May 05, 2014, 02:59:06 AMhaha, thanks Jessica! I'm pretty coherent right now, just really.....bubbly and don't really give a duck what anyone thinks about it. I'm tired of waiting and telling her seems like a logical first step. Thank god for "just right" amounts of alcohol. Haven't drank in nearly a year, so perfect timing! :eusa_dance:

Yet another reason why phones should be taken away from us when alcohol is involved ;D
Good luck hope your mother takes the news well and is accepting, fingers crossed

I didn't drink before I told anyone, but I know a lot who did AFTER I told them! ;D So glad you got it out there. Isn't it just a terrible burden to carry? I was soooo relieved after I told everyone and in most cases it went better than I ever imagined it would. 🙂

Quote from: Jessica Merriman on May 05, 2014, 03:09:03 AMI usually drink once or twice a year. I can count on both hands the amount of times I have drank in my life. Felt like telling someone, so I decided to "cheat" lol

I hope she calls or texts soon. If not and this is worn off, I'll probably get too nervous and sound like porky pig. :laugh:

Quote from: Alyssa Rae on May 05, 2014, 08:44:32 AMsome things she's saying really got home though. Like how I'm worried about everyone hating me, when in reality I'm just hating myself. She's really pushing for me to move home to St. Louis.

We need to talk not text. Just call me when you get the opportunity. I can tell you this. You are making all kinds of excuses to keep the status quo and that isn't healthy. You have to take care of yourself.
You are hurting yourself. That's what you should consider. Loss is part of life.
There will always be some excuse you will find to avoid the truth.
I think you hate yourself more than anything else. You shouldn't though because it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Some of the texts my mom sent. Left my stuff out. 😀

I'm glad you told someone you can trust. That's an important step. And she sounds very supporting which is great. I know you were worried about stuff, but at least things are going in a positive direction.
However, please remember that transitioning must come from within. Don't let anyone influence your decision even if they are supportive. You have to make sure the risks are worth taking.
