I came out to my mom last night 😭
I (m18) came out to my mom as gay last night kinda awkwardly and I'm still kinda mixed about her response. She took a short pause and asked me some questions while being a little ignorant I guess (are you sure?, are you mistaken? is this because I'm a single mother? etc.) but ultimately i explained to her that I was born this way and it can't be changed, and that I've known for a really long time. I felt this huge weight come off my chest but now I just feel awkward around her. We still talk and she told me that I'm gonna be her son no matter what but I can't shake the feeling that somethings off. We haven't rly talked about it since last night. Is giving her time the only option here? Is there anything else I can do to make her feel better?😭 I don't really even know what she's feeling rn and if her perception of me has rly changed that much. She told me I 'seemed normal' and she'd never suspected anything. Any advice would be appreciated.
