I came out to my daughter today

[Bandit58]

Well, not in a BDSM sense, although I suspect she has some idea of the dynamics of our relationship

I told her I was bi.....the subject came up because she was asking my advice on what to do about a male friend of hers who is confused about his sexuality. During the conversation (on the phone) I told her I knew how he would be feeling because I had the same feelings a long time ago. I said "Yes your mother is bi" and she said "Well I always knew you were a bit weird Mum"

LOL....all the time I spent wondering how she would react and it turned out to be that simple I said she could tell her big brother (though I suspect he already knows as well, he's very intuitive). But DON'T mention it to her Nan (my mother)

LOL *hugs* Congrats on your daughter being ok about your being bi.

LOL *hugs* Congrats on your daughter being ok about your being bi.

Thanks gracie I got so used to being in the closet over the years that it's quite a relief to have things out in the open

Plus I should have said don't tell your Dad, but what the hell.....

congratz Bandit.

Good for her and you both. The fact she comes to you to seek advice and that she also is accepting speaks very well about the both of you. Thank you for sharing this as it was heart warming to hear it.

My best to you and Master Gil

I am glad it went so well for you. My daughters know I am BI as well but do not suspect the dynamics of me being into BDSM, I am sure at some point they will find out.. but for now I cant bring it out.. But for you CONGRATS!

Congratulations Bandit! What a wonderful feeling..being able to be open AND knowing you did a fine job raising your daughter.

 

[catalina_francisco]

Congratulations on your disclosure. LOL, you might find it brings a whole new dimension to some of your conversations now.

bandit, what a brave thing to do.

I am happy for you.

 

[Netzach]

Yay!

I find that in a lot of best-cases it's really anti-climactic. More or less was with my mom. My FIL's partner just came out to the last of his sibs to know, and he's well into his 40's - it was a total non-issue.

 

[brioche]

My cousin waited until my grandfather died to tell anyone, because my GF would have had a big problem with it. We figured it out at the funeral. We hadn't seen them for a while.
His parents told us the next summer that they'd had a surprise and my mum said, none too diplomatically, "Oh we knew."
I don't think my aunt ever quite got over that. She's the kind who would have told just to cause problems, and to know that the entire family had figured it out, talked about it, didn't care, and kept quiet until he chose to come out kind of shook her world a bit.

And of course congratulations and good for you Bandit.

I am so glad that it went well for you. I know when people have found out that I was bi it was a huge weight off of my shoulders, one less thing I had to worry about hiding.

 

[Tara S]

Congrats! That's huge. I still haven't come out to my family yet...

 

[neonflux]

Yea, Bandit!

BIG CONGRATULATIONS AND HUGS!

I am so happy for you! Isn't it wonderful just being able to be yourself with your family? Your daughter is lucky and so are you.

It is great when you can have an open discussion with your child about who you are. My 15-year old daughter either is or think she is bisexual and I try hard to let her know that whatever she is I want her happy and in control of her choices.
