I came out to my mom two years ago on this day

[Nat3]

Hi, I'm new here. I came out to my mom uhm about a year ago before my Senior year in high school started, now I am open to all my friends and anyone who cares to ask. I first told my best friends, then my mom. She still thinks that I'm gay,because I'm still a virgin on "straight sex", lol I know....stupid, sometimes she teases me asking me which guy I think is the best looking and if I would ever date him, and I tease her by renting gay themed movies and watching them as a family. I was fortunate to have parents like that,but when I decided to come out I was ready to lose everything even my family. I did not want to hide in the closet for the rest of my life, creating a pseudo illusion of myself. I think that what you did was the best, sometimes we aren't our true selfs due to fear of what may happens if our parents or someone close finds out the truth. I feel better, knowing that I was honest to them and myself as well. Hopefully, a weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and even thought at the moment the problem seems grim, I think with time it will get better. We usually close ourselves to things which we fear, I think the reaction your mother gave you was a normal one(it could have been worst xD); and anyways what matter is what you feel! and how being out makes you feel...hopefully, better=).
