I'm 24. I just came out to my parents two Saturdays ago. I started with "...so there's something I've wanted to tell you for about ten years now, and I promised my friends I'd do it today."

They were the last people I needed to tell, and the first people I told sober.

I just wanted to thank this site for helping me. You're all great!
 
Congratulations - I am glad that you were sober and that it went well. Wish you the best of luck.

Do celebrate your life

Good for you R. I bet that's a load off your mind and now you can get on with being comfortable with yourself. Yay and cheers, G oooo :)
 
Kudos for letting your parents know. Honesty with them affirms their love for you. Did you think you'd need a drink or two to mask your fear? I'm so glad you didn't drug yourself in order to tell them. I hope that gave you the clear message that you don't need alcohol when you are fearful. You followed an adage I use. "Feel the fear and do it anyway." Too many of us run or mask fear, but, like all emotion and the weather where a lot of us live, it comes and goes.

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you.
 
Thats for the kind words, all.

And Seasoned, the members of my family (myself included) aren't really forthcoming with our emotions. In general, we keep love and relationships to ourselves. My 28 year old sister says she still feels uncomfortable talking to my parents about her boyfriend.

I think that's the main reason I had never told anyone sober; the only time I'm ever really expressive in my emotions is when I'm drunk. I almost cracked and had something to drink beforehand, but I decided that wouldn't be right, and I'm happy with that decision.
 
Well, how did it go when you told them?
 
My dad had suspected, but my mom was surprised. My dad figured that since I had never had a girlfriend and never showed any interest in girls, that I was probably gay. My mom apparently didn't think about that at all.

Both said they still loved me and that nothing changed from me coming out to them. It was great to hear that.
 
I'm so happy for you.

I'm around the same age as you. (a little younger.) I have this feeling my dad suspects me because I have never had a GF etc. But my mom is still clueless. She's also said some homophobic stuff.

But I don't plan on coming out right now due to fear that they ignore me. I want to be independent before I come out. That way, I don't have to face them if they aren't supportive.

Anyway, I'm glad you've come out and feel more comfortable. Now live your life the way you want!
