Hey, I want to come out to my mom. My plan is to go to the cinema with her specifically, and after the movie, when we’re getting into the car, I’ll ask her to wait a moment because I have something to say, and then I’ll tell her who I am. Do you think this is a good plan or should I change something?

Even though I’m fully ready for this, I’m terribly scared of how she’ll take it. In conversations she talks to me like “as a guy you should…” etc. When I asked her what she thinks about adding some light colouring to my long hair, she said that in general it’s not appropriate for a guy. However, a few days ago I bought a women’s T-shirt that I liked, and my mom noticed it was women’s and asked if I’d bought it by mistake and if I knew it was women’s. I said I knew it was women’s and that I’d bought it on purpose, and she didn’t say anything bad – just that if I like it then that’s fine. That’s why I don’t know how she’ll react to my coming out. I’m really stressed and I don’t know if I’ll ultimately dare to do it, but I hope everything will turn out okay.
