Next, she asked if it was ok to share with anyone else. I said i didn't mind if our accounts manager (another person i value greatly) knew. On the weekend, the three of us met at my manager's house and had a girly chat... Which was great. I now had two great allies! A great weight felt like it was breaking off of me.
A week later, i text my mum and told her i needed to see her. I went over that night terrified. She had popped out, so i watched some Dr.Who to try and still my nerves (David Tennant... Yum) Anyway, she came home, saw that i was in a lot of pain (crying again!!) And said 'you're having money trouble, aren't you?' lol. I shook my head and she tried 'you're seeing someone else, you're splitting up with -girlfriend- and you're gay?' I kept shaking my head and crying and eventually mum said 'i can't help if you don't tell me.' :') So... i took a deep breath and said 'you know how i'm your son...?' (Puzzled look from her) 'Well i've always felt... Like your daughter.' She didn't seem too shocked, and admitted 'there was always something different about you... you're far too emotional for a boy!' she was... EVERYTHING i needed... she threatened to go to war with any family that weren't supportive. She wished i told her sooner. She said many things that made me feel so much better. She said i was being silly to be terrified to tell her, at the end of the day i was still her child, no matter what. She still loved me. I left feeling incredibly positive...
