Sorry

I first found out I liked women when I was 11 after coming from arizona to florida. I had been confused since over my time in arizona I had all my friends expressing there desire to be in relationship with male characters or singers, whiles I never thought of them that way normally my aim was for the female characters thinking similar but unable to express it correctly at the time. When we moved I started middle school at the ending of 6th grade I made a handful of friends who ended up teaching me about things I had never knew about mostly since they were expressing themselves.

 I first came out to my mother when I was about 11 I told her how I felt about relationships and how I was at the time in a relationship with a girl and it felt better then my relationships with guys. She was understanding mostly since she grew up knowing people in the same spaces, but she did tell me to think about it and see how it ends up going along to not label myself just yet sinceI was still young. Over time around my 12th birthday I again went over to my mother and explained how I felt this time adding that over the time my interest in certain people became very clear altho still young I knew where I stood at the time. My mother didn’t oppose, she listened to me and explained that altho she is fine with it for her I was still to young to possibly hold that full understanding. 

This happened all the way till a month before my 14th birthday, I sat with her and once more said I liked what I liked and where was no doubt about it in my mind. She instead of calling me young agreed with me and said she would completely support me in my choice of lover as long as they are good to me and I am good to them. That same year I came out to my father as my mother wanted me to. When coming out to my father I was scared unlike when I came out to my mother, with my mother I was straight to the point. Sitting across the table in a resturant I asked my dad for his attention and told him how I felt with my love life and he took it rather well saying that he had suspected it for a while now. 

After that day I was able to feel a lot better about myself and my identity, I spoke with my mother on how I wanted to change the way I dressed and the way I presented myself but not because of my sexuality. I finally felt comfortable enough to show my true colors and be myself from then on, Every since then my parents have been proud supporters of me and how I show myself in anyway. 

My parents support helped me a lot due to how important they are to me. My parents mostly my mothers opinion has always been something I hold closely mostly when its about me. Having her support me from the start pushed me ahead and let me know no matter what I had my family with me.
