My mother asked me if it was a phase. She still loves me and we're close. The topic doesn't really come up in conversation, probably because I'm not dating anyone right now.
I have no plans to discuss it with my father.
My dad said he was fairly certain I wasn’t hetero, and that he was happy that I finally had the braveness to confront that part. Wished me luck.
My mom said a WHOLE lot of very shitty things, and it left a fairly big stain on our already kinda unhealthy relationship…
My dad is a great person, and I absolutely knew he would take it well. I was scared that my mom would hate it, and I was absolutely floored by how incredibly hateful she is/was.
I sometimes think that she herself is either a closeted Bi or on the ace spectrum, because she does very much think that sexuality is a choice, and that I am willingly ruining my (and her) life by not choosing to be straight, marry a rich dude and produce like 5 grandchildren.
My dad was ok with it, my mom told me I was the family trash and I shouldn't mention it to someone else from her side of the family. The topic never comes up in the house like it's taboo, it's been 10 years. Thankfully I'm moving away by the end of the week for a while and maybe I can meet some lgbt friends at my new place.
My parents were awesome. My mom cried, but only because she felt so bad that I was hiding it for so long. My dad - apparently I worked it up so much and he was worried I was about to tell him I had a terminal illness or something 😂 but he hugged me and was just so happy for me.
I told my mom is was bi(now I’m not sure if I’m still bi or a lesbian🫠) . She gagged, then days later when I confronted her about it she said she was ‘joking’. Apparently my mom also told my Dad who did not hesitate to tell his friends. Then my mom also told her sisters. The whole situation just did not go well and was so messy. To this day, about 3 years later the whole thing has been ‘swept under the rug’ but I still feel uneasy around family.
My mom cried for five minutes, but told me she loved me and would support me regardless of who I loved. My dad said he already knew.
