I'm not out yet but I want to come out. There's only one thing holding me back, my parents. Now, I know they definitely would accept me, I'm just not sure how long it will take. The thing is, I'm heading to college in about a week. I'm just a little nervous about coming out to them, and then leaving so shortly after. However, I really wanted to come out before college so that I could be myself right from the start. I have a really good relationship with my parents, especially my mother. They are very understanding and accepting, probably more than most people, in my opinion anyway. The next time I'll be home for more than a week will be winter break, but I don't really want to wait that long.

Is a week enough time for them to adjust? For some reason I feel like I need to be around for a while after coming out, so that if they wanted to talk to me then they could. They'll still be able to talk to me in college via email or phone, but I don't know, it's just not the same as in person.

At the same time, I feel stupid for even contemplating the idea of coming out to them because I know that they will be ok with it.

Ack, I'm not sure what I should do.
 
If you're confident that they won't have a problem with you being gay, I'd go ahead and tell them ASAP. The fact of the matter is that there's never going to be a perfect time to tell them. It'll always be a holiday or you'll be leaving again soon or they'll be dealing with other important issues in their lives.
 
Parents are not blind ,My parents knew years before I came out to them & they did not care one way or the other,I wish I had known that at the time it would have been so much easier on me . they love me & my partner ...
 
If you know they'll be cool with it, then just do it. If you have to, write a short letter and hand it to them.

Just do it. Afterwards, you'll be forever asking yourself, "Why didn't I do it sooner?"
