Hello! I am 19 and living at home with my family right now. I'm pretty much in the closet except to a few close friends here who are also gay. I told my older cousin when she visited a few months ago - shes "gay" too! I went to PA to visit her for a week at the start of march, and I just can not describe how amazing it was to be myself and be accepted for who I am.

So basically I now want to leave everything I have here behind and move to PA. Not just because my cousin is there and I know people there now, but because I need somewhere new to start completely over.... It seems drastic ... I know, but honestly I can't stand being depressed and alone in this hell hole anymore.

I'm posting here basically for support, I'm really scared about moving out on my own and taking care of "adult" stuff! I have a place to stay up there until I can get a place of my own.

Oh, and i'm aiming to leave the 2nd week of may. I have no clue how to tell my mom that i'm moving out because i'm a homosexual that needs to start my life over!(!)
 
If support from here is what you need to help you start your life then as far as I'm concerned - you've go it.

Good luck.
 
I don't know your mother but in most situations like this, it's best to be direct and consider that you moving will most likely be difficult for her - empty nest syndrome and all.

Try to ensure her that you have some support there and that you'd apprecaiate any help she can offer.
 
Good Luck guy. I think your mom will be more upset about you leaving than being gay. It will be a big adjustment for both of you. Just talk to your mom about everything. Open communication.
 
I agree with volcom1206. There's nothing wrong with moving away, but don't do it because you think it will solve all your problems. Do it because you need to get out on your own somewhere you'd rather live. Hampton Roads isn't exactly the most gay friendly place around, but unless you're moving to Philly or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania may not be any better.

I'd recommend focusing on one issue at a time. Either tell her you're gay or tell her you're planning to move, then go on to the other issue once you've dealt with the fall out of the first one. Do one then see how you feel about the other afterwards.
 
Thanks for all the comments guys. I think deep down my mom knows.. but I just am not ready to have a discussion with her about it yet. I will eventually... sooner than later I am sure.

Its a combination of running away from my problems and just wanting to get out on my own, I think. I know I could make my life so much better up there, even if it will be rough for a while.
