So as some of you know yesterday on my 19th Birthday I came out to my parents as gay. The reason I did this was because the likely hood of me ever ending up with a girl is very small :P Also before I start this, no this isn't for another Top Blog I just know of a few people who wanted to me keep them updated.
So for the last week (before my birthday) i had been preparing a letter for them to read because i just couldn't handle telling them to their faces! Telling them at all was bad enough XD So i was 1st up and out to work before anyone else was even up which was really handy and I just left the letter by my parents computer because that's the only place I knew they would see it.
All the way to work I was freaking out wondering if I had made the right decision and about an hour after I left i got a text from my Mum pretty much saying she was in complete shock and never knew I felt that way at all (which to be honest really surprised me because I thought like Mum's just knew) but she went on to say she still loves me no more no less and she supports my decision! phew half the anxiousness over! However she also included that she would wait until after our family to dinner to tell my dad because she was really unsure on how he would take it. I stayed out with my friends and my family went home and when I got back everyone was asleep.
So last night I had a sleepless night wondering what his reaction was and if he would even speak to me etc. Just about to leave for college (On Thursdays I go to college) and my dad pulls up and i'm like shitting myself. He doesn't really say anything except offer my a life to college which I decline because I want ZERO awkwardness.
Then at about 3pm I get a text from him saying he's JUST read my letter so he didn't know the whole time I was worrying. Turns out he wasn't shocked at all and is completely fine with it! Weird ending considering I was more worried about my dad but hey ho! They don't want me to tell anyone just yet as they want to get used to the idea before anyone else knows :L Thanks for all the support folks It's been a stressful week but i'm glad it's over! ILY ALL < 3
rippyroo I am so proud of you! I kept postponing telling my mom and dad, but i had a boyfriend and i was proud of my boyfriend so i came out when i was 15 lol but my parents were both fine with it! At first its awkward but after awhile its just normal :) HAPPY PROUD AMZING :) love you.
glad they are supporting you. as a mother myself I would totally support any one of my three kids in their decision if they came to me and told me they were gay.
my husband on the other hand would be the hard one.
he and I have talked about this and he has told me hes not sure how he would feel.
But I would be totally supportive.
