This question is only for the LGBTQ+ community. How did you guys/girls come out to your family?

I have been searching for help for ages. I have already told my mother but I don't think she believes me or just doesn't care. As for my father I know he will be very close minded about this stuff so I didn't bother telling him yet. But now I just want to make my move and get it over with and finally achieve happiness

I just kind of mentioned to my mom that I was bi but I’m neither out to nor hiding it from the rest of my family.
Both of my kids are out, and they handled it similarly. My daughter struggled with finding the right time to tell me and ended up just blurting it out. My son came out to me over dinner while we were on vacation.

@summersong I wish I had the courage to do that

@summersong are your children bi?

@ShatteredHeart it can be really difficult, especially in families that aren’t LGBTQ+ tolerant or supportive. You’re already living with courage though, every day, regardless of when/how you tell them 🤗
