Welcome to Gaia! ::

Totally understandable, your situation. Lemme tell you about how I came out to my mother and father. They're divorced, however, so it was two different times I told them. I told my mother when I was 14. I told my dad just six months ago.

With my Mother, I think she might have had suspicions. However, I was caught kissing a girl in my room who was supposed to spend the night. We both liked each other and wanted to know what it felt like to kiss a girl. Karma being a total b***h, my mother walked in right at that moment. She could have overheard the conversation, but still. She was in denial the whole time and thought I was going through a "phase". She even sent me to a Catholic summer camp to try and "straighten my thoughts". Obviously that didn't work when I was getting touchy feely with one of the other camp girls. She is still in denial about it and keeps telling me every single day that it's "not the Godly way" and "I'm such an abomination". Don't get me wrong, I still love her because she spent 20 hours giving birth to me, but that was just my situation. All parents are different.

Now, with my Father... Well, he's one of those guys who wants their daughter to date the cute boys who are trying to get into my pants so he can get out his shotgun or baseball bat. He's the one who likes to have me be "Daddy's Little Girl". Every time I tell him I'm interested in someone, he tells me "not to lie to him". It's quite pathetic, actually. Four and a half years, and they're still not accepting it. I remember one night when I came home from a date with a girl and my mother actually kicked me out of the house because I had a hickey on my neck from her. :/

Sorry to be such a mood killer here, but I thought I would share since everyone else is. I think you should just go with your gut and what your heart tells you to do(cheesy, I know).

Best of luck!
