Hi moms,
Where to start. I'm looking for some serious advice on the right way (if there is one) to tell my mom that I'm gay. I thought mumsnet would be the best place to ask. I've never had a serious girlfriend, my mom has never queried this. Does she know? Does a mom sense these things?
I've been struggling for years and my mom means the world to me. I'm terrified of the hurt, disappointment but most of all the rejection. I'm not with anyone and I'm not 'out'. I lie awake worrying about it, crying myself to sleep, it's really messing me up. She gives me the impression she is anti-gay. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I'm living a lie and my own mom doesn't really know who I am. I'm not feminine and I don't have any issues with guys who are, I'm just not and maybe that's the reason why she's never confronted me. I could just do the whole 'come out' thing but I'm concerned that might make her reject me.
I know there's a opinion in the wide world that says 'she needs to deal with it' but it's my mom and I don't want to hurt her.
It's just a big mess. Thanks for listening.
