hey there mate. sounds like you are not that much afraid of your mom as you are of the situation. if you are as close to your mom as you sound, i dont see a bad result in sight, but its best if you let her know gradually, u know giving out little hints, so that the blow of the big secret wont be so blunt

I don't really know what to say but sometimes it is easier if you don't say it but write it. I emailed my mom and told her Im gay. It was cool. I thought of everything she might ask me and answered them in the one email and told her that im not ready to talk about it yet if she could just say what she wanted to say on the internet.

Back when I was 'straight', I thought about how I would react to my child being gay, even though I adored gay men and had tons of gay friends.
I have to say, I think I would be floored. I don't think that's something any parent expects to hear. At first my reaction was selfish, and then it was sad because my child has to deal with something so difficult, and was probably in a great deal of pain for so long.
If your mother is accepting of homosexuals, you should be honest with her and tell her how you feel. Even if she's upset at first, I'm sure she'll come around eventually. She'll just have to adjust.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
