How do i tell my parents

[woven yarrow]

I specifically want to tell my mum first and o just need advice on explaining quickly what being bi is but also how to tell her I've known I'm bi for like a week almost 2 now

To be more specific my mum will probably be supportive but i don't know about my dad

They might think they "failed as parents" so make sure to say something along the lines of I still love you you haven't failed. If they end up kicking you out and you are a minor you can find a lgbtq shelter or live with relatives

They wouldn't go that far

Kick me out i mean

I recommend two things:

If you're too scared to tell her, even when you'll be prepared, then try giving her some hints, maybe she'll catch the catch and ask you.

But if you don't want all the hare and hounds or whatever, then I'd just tell her and assure her of many things. You know her the best, so you know the best what to assure her of.

In the end you're still her child, so she'll respect it.

How do i hint

[red herald]

Hmm.. Well, that can be hard when you think of it. Yk, to try not alerting your father. But if you want to try, then leave sth associated with lgbt+ community, like rainbow bracelets, pins or whatever. Or when you're talking try saying something about both of the genders (like: "Maybe one day I'll find a girlfriend... or a boyfriend"). Mothers tend to think old-fashioned, so try talking 'bout skincare, hair routine, clothes. You may also meet with more people your gender (if it's not too hard). Also you can somehow show signs of support for the community around her.

I hope this won't turn out bad if you try 😭🙏

My dad has shown a dislike towards a homophobe before so i think he'll be fine with it

Hey, that's excellent! You can always ask your parents what they think of lgbt community. That'll tell you, if you're fine to tell them and make you feel less anxious about it. Or ask "what would y'all think, when I'd come out as bi?" (to make it less suspicious try asking then "what about a furry?", "how about a priest?")

[woven yarrow]

Im probably gonna ask how they feel about people liking the same gender or something like that but thanks for the advice

[red herald]

You're welcome, goof! ;3

[woven yarrow]

I truat my mum more with this but she doesn't know as her boyfriend is always around so i can't have a personal chat with her it's annoying

[woven yarrow]

Damn I've just remembered my sister is bi so I'll be fine

[woven yarrow]

She only said like once

[woven yarrow]

So I'm pretty sure my parents will be supportive

[woven yarrow]

At least both my brother and sister will be supportive
My brother has a bisexual friend
and my sister I've already said why

[cobalt ingot]
