Hey so I recently got out of a 3 year relationship with a guy. I just never felt that spark, those butterflies. I realized it was because I couldn't see a future with him at all, or any man for that matter. I figured out that I want a wife and kids one day. That kinda scares me but thrills me at the same time. I know my sisters and Dad would be supportive but my mom is deeply religious and often says being gay is "a sin". I guess I'm scared that she wont be able to reconcile her beliefs with who I am. How should I come out to her?

you need to let yourself be free. you cant keep holding your breath. it will be hard yes but you need to let her know the real you, the lovely person who just wants to love someone and not be judged. i cant say i know what it feels like, coming out because im not bisexual but i know the feeling of not being who you truly are, not being able to let someone see the real you. but trust me after tell her youll feel free. you owe it to yourself and your parents to tell them. ❤️
