How do I come out to my parents?

Question

Answer

It truly depends on your situation and your comfort level. Some people’s parents (like mine) have absolutely no problem with it and they appreciate your trust and honestly. Some parents (like my friend’s) can possibly disown or physically harm their child. Just keep in mind what you’re willing to sacrifice and which way you think your parents are more likely to lean

Answer

It really does depend on your situation. I was 18 and waited til I moved out cause I had a feeling it wouldn’t go well-which is only because my mom is super religious. And I honestly couldn’t even get the words out. At the time she knew of my friend PJ, who was actually my first girlfriend unbeknownst to her, and she had died recently. So when we were sitting in my car, she knew I had something to tell her, and I just couldn’t speak, I just started crying my eyes out cause I knew she wouldn’t like it. Eventually she spoke and said, PJ. And when she said her name I knew she knew. And I started crying more and it was a mess. I’m 27 now. And they still don’t agree with it and we have arguments. But it is what it is. That’s my situation. But I can tell you that I felt so much better a few days later, even though the reaction was bad, because I finally got it out. They finally knew. And I could just be me. And my friends are the main reason I made it through that. But it’s always best to be honest. No matter what happens. At least you were honest. You spoke your truth. How they react is on them, and they will answer for it one day. But living in the closet is no life. Be proud of who you are. And own it. It took me years to get to that place because of my family. But I’m telling you. It’s worth it. It’ll all be worth it in the end. And I’m here if you need anything.
