I have decided to pass on my letter to my mother tomorrow (monday). I hate to do it the day after Mother's day but I feel the time is now. I'm nervous as hell about it though. Tomorrow is her last day off before she goes back to work Tuesday.. I feel that if it's her day off it might go over more smoothly? Instead of a work day where she spends half the day at work and then comes home and feels too tired to want to truly discuss things. It might give her a chance to think it out tomorrow... and then she can come to me later about it.

I still fear a face to face confrontation, and I'm feeling the anxiety rise just thinking about it. I don't know what to expect, I know some of you suspect she may already know, or at least expects something is about to happen, but I'm still worried lol.

I'm going to take it like it is though, and if I have to pack up and leave... well then that's what I will do. I won't force it down her throat, though I will try to talk it out with her first. I won't just throw my arms up in the air and then walk out the door, I'll try to resolve it, best I can, and then if push comes to shove.... I will figure something out. I always do.

I'll bet it goes fine. All the little steps add up and get you where you're going. Best wishes, hugs, Devlyn

Good luck!

*hugs*

Hey Jerred,

I am wishing you the best of luck.  I really hope it goes well for you.  Please keep us posted.  My situation is similar to yours and I am going to be coming out to my mom soon, so I would love to hear your success story for some tips.  And yes, it will be a success story.  Stay positive

Well now I was just informed that my sister is taking my mom out to lunch tomorrow as a mother's day thing so... -facedesk-

Well, lunch doesn't last 24 hours does it?  If so, that's quite a feast.  Seriously, I think you will be able to do it sometime that day. Just stay positive and keep confident.   Remember, you can and need to do this!  I am really happy and excited for you.  This is a big step and it's awesome that you have such determination. And if you feel scared and need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to contact me. 

Wishing you the very best. Hugs

Good luck Jarred

Ya I think I'll just give it to her shortly after she gets home tomorrow

Having Plan B at the ready is never a bad idea!

I hope everthing goes well for you.

You go, boy.  Right on.

Now I'm just getting more and more nervous about everything. Uhg, tomorrow is going to be a long day

Good luck-keep us posted!

-facedesk- two of my friends suggest waiting a couple more days since it's the day after mother's day... I don't know what to dooooo -sits in a corner-

Just do it!

There is never a good or bad time, there is just time!

Go ahead and do it! It's unlikely that if you wait there'll be a 'good time' to do it, something always gets in the way.

Good luck.

Thanks guys for the support, seriously. It means a lot to me. I'm nervous as hell and my mother's about to go off for lunch with my sister. I don't know what to expect but hopefully it won't end horribly.

It'll be okay.  You know this is what you want to do.  So,if it isn't today, it will have to come down to another day.  You seem to be in the right mindset and have the proper determination.  You can do this.  Just keep up a confident and positive composure.  I'm certain you will do well.

Yes well.... just to be safe I'm packing my duffel bag just in case I have to bug out real fast like

Well, it never hurts to prepare.  Still, I think it will be okay.  Your mom seems to know something is going on.  And it is clear that she loves you for all that you have wrote.  Just be confident and positive because that may effect how she responds.  If she sees your conviction, I think she will be able to accept it a little more easy. 

Nonetheless, whatever happens, you are taking a big step and doing what's right for you.  There can be no failure from coming out.  You succeed by following your dreams and desires.  If that means others don't come along, that isn't your failure.  You are doing what is right for you and that is a major win.
