Hallelujah!!
I didn't plan on telling them. It was the exact opposite - Only yesterday I talked to a bunch of people about it, and how I want to be out of the house and economically stable before I take that step.
But they came to me.
My dad left work early in order to have this conversation.
He started talking about how they've been noticing that something's been bothering me lately, and that it's most likely something big. Could be it has to do with them, with God, or maybe even with sexual orientation.
At that point I sort of went into shock. I thought they were planning on having a polite conversation about what went on last night. I had this stupid smile on my face (Thank God I was with my back away from them!), a smile that said "Wait, no... This isn't happening to me... You're not supposed to know that - You're not allowed to know that... Wait..." Dad said something about how maybe I'm wondering things about myself, maybe I'm thinking, maybe I'm angry, maybe I know.
"Maybe you think you're gay."
At that point I broke down. I started to cry and I asked them to leave the room.
You'd need to be an idiot to not put two and two together by that point.
After that I had a talk with Mom and a talk with Dad. They're not overjoyed, but they accept. Dad wants me to think carefully before I make announcements and wants this to stay between the three of us and my friends whom I choose to tell. We'll see.
Mom reminded me many times how much she loves me, how I'm a part of her and she loves me, no matter what. She's a little bit sorry that I didn't feel like I could trust her earlier, but what can you do?
So that's that. No more lies.
From here things can only get better...
EDIT: Does anyone still read here?
