QuestionI am not ready to come out to my mom but I'm afraid I'm going to be forced to pretty soon. I don't know how to tell her because she's very religious. How do I tell her without shocking her too much?Klare Heston is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Cleveland, Ohio. With experience in academic counseling and clinical supervision, Klare received her Master of Social Work from the Virginia Commonwealth University in 1983. She also holds a 2-Year Post-Graduate Certificate from the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, as well as certification in Family Therapy, Supervision, Mediation, and Trauma Recovery and Treatment (EMDR).I am not sure that it will be possible to not shock her--unless she has already guessed. But ask yourself, how you feel about not telling her? A lot of parents find a way to reconcile their own beliefs when their own children are involved. But as a Plan B, you may want to arrange someplace to go for a few days after you tell your mom if it goes badly.
