So I Told Her

Well first off I want to thank Michael, Nick and Reaper very very much for the supportive comments they made. It really meant alot to me and made things easier, Thanks guys :D .

 

So anyway I decided I'd tell her this afternoon when I got home from work,,,,,,and I did. And it was really good. I'd prepared myself for the possibility of crying, or something. I even tried to think it would be normal and OK if there was some yelling or something. But none of that ever happened. I successfully managed the "so let's talk" kinda thing, and then getting across that it was going to be important etc. I even managed to convey that it would probably be shocking. Then after I had her all worked up and worried, even though I was telling her "don't worry everything's fine"...I pretty much chickened out, I just couldn't say it. So she actually got up and gave me a nice hug and said she'd always love me no matter what and I could tell her anything. So I finally did, and she said she thought so as soon as I started the conversation, but the way I was talking, but that she HADN"T thought so until I started the conversation. Anyway she was totally cool about it and we had a good talk, and it's all good, and she said she supports me regardless, and never had any hangs up about the issue in general. And she's glad I told her, and she said nothing was going to be any different between us, and she also said she would be ok with someday meeting and getting to know a guy I feel in love with. So all in all, I really couldn't have asked for it to go any better, at all. Except that I really did a lousy job with the actual TELLING part, but her reaction was great, and I was fine after it was "on the table" so to speak. Anyway thanks again guys, for the support and stuff, just wanted to let you know everything went well. :D

Whooo hooo!!!!!!!!

 

That's great news!!!! I'm glad you were able to tell your mom and that it went well. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

 

That was probably a tremendous weight lifted off your shoulders.

 

Welcome to outside of the closet!!! Can't promise that everyone will take it well, but when it's a parent, it sure feels good.

 

Take Care,

Marvalous, champagne!

 

It never goes exactly the way we mean to, but it happens which is the important part. You've certainly lucked out in terms of mothers, I'm glad it went well.

Congratulations!!!!! I am incredibly proud of you and Proud for you and for your Mom too!! I bet she becomes a PFLAG Mom and a shining example to all parents..she already is....

 

I feel you did wonderful in telling her....it was honest, down to earth and very loving....Moms tend to know these things....Now, you both have much to give Thanks for...and then some!!

 

I remember it felt like Mountains were lifted from my shoulders and I felt light as a feather and my heart was filled with Joy....its an incredible liberating freeing feeling....You are free of that dark closet and into the freedom of bein OUT..and you have amazing wonderful values (I have read what you have said to Hi_College Guy...it warmed my heart and then some and I wanted to thank your Mom for raising a beautiful wonderful son...so, you will be fine....and the Man that becomes Mr. Friendly Face is going to be one amazing lucky husband and son in law.....since clearly your Mom is one amazing Mom:)

 

Congratulations and then some!!! Now, you can remember your Coming Out story and recall it with Pride and Love....something to tell your children so they know about the Love of a great Mom (their Grandma) and one pretty amazing Dad-you!

 

Enjoy the Holidays...and sing "Free at Last...Free at Last"...it really is an amazing feeling...!

I'm so glad it went well for you.

 

It's a big step and only you can decide when and if the time is right. I am totally against a person coming out that isn't comfortable with their situation.

 

[flaming understatement /on]Opinions about homosexuality vary greatly and you never really can tell how someone is going to react. [flaming understatement /off]

 

Being gay is something you can't chose. You can chose how, when, where and to whom you are going to come out. Chose well because the blowback can be a real bitch.
