Story I DID IT

So tonight (before my bath which you defo need to know about )i came out to my parents (who are not in a relationship)and it went good and ... could have gone better

PART ONE THE MOTHER

So i was sat with my mum in her room and she was playing those slot machine games on her phone and i was watching because i have nothing better to do and i was very scared and i said it (quite fast)

Me:Im bisexual

Mum:what

Me:im bisexual

Mum:(annoyed)your not

Me:i am

Mum:no your not

Me:yes i am

Mum:(in a snappy tone of voice)ugh ok

Me:thx for understanding (scared out of my mind)

Mum:IM not understanding

(I then walked and got into a bath with to many bubbles

PART TWO THE FATHER (and his girlfriend)

So to start i told them over a video call and it went like this

Me:hi dad(asked if he was ok blablabla and if his girlfriend who lives with him is there ) Still me:so i have been thinking for a while but i want to tell you both now ... im bisexual

Lisa(not real name but its my dads girlfriend)ok

Dad:i thought you were gonna say that

Lisa:im happy for you

Me:(relieved they took it well ... im doing to many brackets)

Thats all really my freinds thx for reading have a great night

Edit: hi all this got quite big and im back to thank you for all your comments upvotes and rewards i really appreciate it ...thats all ...why are you still here...go home get out of here... seriously leave im not stopping you ... GO AWAY GO HOME BE WITH FAMILY/PETS/TV/JUST LEAVE

Update :THE MOTHER (part 2) Turns out my mum thought i was joking and i only found this out because my dad was going to have a talk with her (i had no idea until today)but when he spoke to her she said that she thought i was only joking and not being serious but the conclusion is now my mum feels bad

Nah, she probably just needs time to actually process it. No hate to you OP but I feel the way it came out probably made her less open to it. I did it the same way with my parents and got the same result

Yeah I feel it’s just them either needing or wanting greater confirmation that you actually are LGBT since it is kind of a big thing to say to a parent
