So I told my mom.
"Mom, would you be upset if I told you I like girls?"
Pause. "What?"
"I.. I think I do."
"No, I don't think so."
"Mom.."
"No, I think you're confused."
And so on.
Basically, the rest of the conversation was about how I should just focus on other things, and not think about how I feel about the same sex.
Great, right? More stuffing down feelings.
I mean, I would have been shocked, I think, if she had expected it. I know my friends expect it, because they saw the way my ex bff and I were. But Mom? Nah, she thinks ex bff influenced me to be that way, and she says that's what I'm feeling (I told her about kissing ex bff, but not about the sex..).
Completely wrong... though I lied about the having sex part..
Mom says I don't have enough "life experience" to make a "decision" like this.
askldfha;skldhf..
At least she didn't completely flip out on me, and we were actually joking around after a while.
And while I should feel better about telling her, which she said she was glad I told her, I don't. I feel worse.
I have a headache.
I'll probably write more tomorrow night.

I'm sorry she's not
I'm sorry she's not accepting it right away. My mom is also one of those who seems to think it's a choice.
At least coming out to her is over with, right? It was brave of you.
Keep in mind...
There is a stuffing down of feelings here, but the important thing to remember is that there's been a shift. SHE is the only who has to stuff down feelings now. You're done. Give her time, but your coming out journey with her has ended. Her journey just began.

Hang in there, I know it
Hang in there, I know it sucks but she has to come around sometime. :)
Time. She just needs time to
Time. She just needs time to let it sink in.
Over time, as long as you remain sincere to what you've told her, she'll realize that this is in fact the way you are. You are free to act as you will now, it's up to her to come to realization. =) yay you!!
