Dreams meet reality

[angrywhiteninja]

Last night i had a dream where I came out to my parents with disatrous results. Now I know it was just a dream but part of it stems from reality in which I *did* come out and I *did* have extremely bad result (I was sent to jesus camp) and thrown in therepy for 3 years. Now I know that someday they will need to know and I know this day is coming

Do they think you're asexual now?

We all love you. Don't forget that your friends are always there to support you, always there in the worst of times. The best times just seem to be spread out. :) But as for should you tell your parents? Well if they don't suspect it already...well.. I'm sorry that your parents cannot accept you for who you are, even if the rest of us can.

this may not be the wisest policy for you, as i do not know your current situation. However i tend to keep it on a need to know basis. I only tell people that i feel need to know for one reason or another, or if i am sure they will find out anyway. Thus, only 6 or 7 people in real life know my secret. I figure, much like _ravenous, that the rest will find out when i am on my own and can support myself financially, that way if they don't like it they don't have to see me.

Damn. Jesus Camp. THAT's harsh, yo.
I agree with the above commenter that you should make sure your finances and livelihood are secure before being blunt with them.
But, I do believe they'll need to know and accept eventually.

I've never had to come out, as I'm hetero, but I've had too many friends who've had to face this issue. The parents.
Good luck. :)
Things will work out... in the meantime, don't stress so much. You are who you are, and this has no reflection on other people's opinions regarding the way they choose to view your life.
