Coming out to Mom

[thelastmiracle]

I came out to my mother last night.

I really wish that everything happened last night were just a nightmare, but it was too real to be a dream. Normally, I would type up or tell everyone about everything happened, but I am that scared to recall the emotions arose 15 hours ago; I had never cried that much in my entire life. I cried for two hours,

Andrew,

You are so strong. My eyes watered after reading this. Never tell yourself that you're a shame to the family and that death is the answer; because you and I know that both things are beyond false. I'm so proud of you for all of this, regardless of the outcome, because you know what? You're just one step further than many many gay boys. I know how it feels to see your family members cry over something like this, because when I came out to my brothers, I felt the same way as you did. I can only fear what lies before me...I am scared. I am terrified. But seeing you so strong gives me faith, both in myself and in my parents. I have so many thigns to say to you, but again, my thoughts are just so scrambled, I can't put them into words. All I know is that we're all in this together, and we will go thru the same things, but no matter what, I'll always be here. You can always count on me, because I love you my friend. *HUGS* ♥

Wow.

She didn't kick you out of the house and she didnt beat you. Could she be one of those mothers that will eventually grow to accept and unconditionally love her gay son? I hope that this will be true for you.

And if this day should ever come for me, I think it would mirror yours. Its scary since Im also my mother's "favorite child" and every time she calls me, she always reminds me that I dont need to rush school or that a "C" is okay, always comforting me about school and gettign through it. Then shell continually ask me if Im okay and that I can tell her anything (which is ironic since I dont believe that I can tell her EVERYTHING).

But right now, I just think you are incredible.

That's scary indeed.. I mean, Asian parents usually push their kids really hard.. Thanks Dar.. I still haven't met you in person. =)

*hugs* hey andrew, i'm proud of you ^.^

I hope that, with time, your mom will one day come to accept who you are. She's ur mom, and you're her son, she'll love you no matter what, even if she doesnt understand.

Be strong, and remember that we're here for you always. And we'll always here to support you. So keep that chin up, and look fabulous!

typical, but reasonable; we just came to the US (and exposed to 'liberality') in less than 5 years. She's Chinese, She's in her 50's, and it's really really hard for her to accept and change the image of her son after 20 years of raising him up. =\ thanks victoria. *hug*
