come out to my Dad

tell my dad + step mum that i’m a homo.

Coming out to my dad was one of the most worthwhile things I have ever done. I could never have imagined that it would make my closer than we have ever been. As soon as I told him he said that he knew but he was just waiting on me to be comfortable enough to tell him. soo worth it. :)

I spoke to my mum first, and somehow after over exaggerating and almost “losing grip” on reality i decided to tell him. I found it so hard to say so i wrote it down, he immediately said “no your nor” “your just sensitive” blah blah.. he then called my mum to ask her 1 billion questions he acted like he was ok with it and in control but he was clearly in denial and freaking out, anyway.. long story short.. he ended up being ‘ok’ with it but not “100 % supportive” like my mum, which is what i should have expected according to people i spoke to it about. One thing i found hurtful was when he told me “i dont want to see ‘it’ in front of my face” but oh well im just going to have to live with that for now.. unless i manage to bend the rules a little. Overall pretty worth doing, not totally confident that he doesnt really support me but pfft who cares i have friends for that.. Well take care everyone =D

This will be the hardest thing i will ever have to do in my life. My dad is the biggest homophobe in the world, he could run as the ambassador for the Neo-Nazis for the homophobia division. To make matters worse.. I live with him only, my mum.. who I have told was totally fine but she lives at least a 1 hour drive from where my current life (ie house/school) is. If i tell him ill either be killed or left on the street to die… well maybe not, but it will definatley make my life hell. The End… but i do recommend telling accepting people which I have already done.. I have only those people to live for =P

Right, well it was one of those uncomfortable car journeys… My Dad was lecturing me about my bad behaviour of recent weeks and mouthing off about my Mum (they split several years ago) and how miserable winter generally is. I thought “f*ck this, I’m sick of him not knowing” so, mainly to make him stop moaning, I said, “Dad, I worry what you will think so I haven’t told you before but I’m gay”. A stunned, uncomfortable silence followed.
I had been told by various people, including my Mum, that he would disown me and never speak to me again. However, after a couple of minutes he cleared his throat and said, “Well, it’s your life, you can tell me anything, you’re still me daughter and I love you”.
So all in all, a task worth doing really. He even asked to meet my next girl…

my mom = totally cool and sort of a conservative hippie.

my dad = just plain conservative.
