Title: Just came out
Post by: Xtr3m3r on September 22, 2009, 04:20:16 PM
Yeah just came out to my mom.. I left a letter on the phone and went outside for a walk.. When I was about to call home so my mom sees the letter she calls me.. I was like estatic and asked a friend I was with to talk with her.. But apparently she didn't read it yet and she told her to read it.. So she did and asked me to go home... I said I would soon but I'm still out, as I'm writing this on my phone...

Well, wish me luck when I'm back :X

I'm so happy! Just got home and my mom said it was all okay.. But that even though she said that, that my choice was really difficult and that I should hide it for now, for my own safety... She also said that I had to be under a therapist, thing I kinda want to do :P

So yeah she's okay with it :D

Good for you, Sweety.  Having a parent in your corner always helps as you progress.

Congratulations, honey. :D 

Your mom is right - talking to a therapist will help you get to the next steps.  I'm glad for you that your mom is accepting.  What a big step for you!  :eusa_dance:
