I came out atheist to my mom today
My mom knows I'm an atheist! And it's okay! I had been scared to tell my parents, but my mom was really calm about it and told me not to worry about what other people think and that she accepts me no matter what! Turns out that my brother is an atheist too, I had my suspicions and now I know for sure. I'm still not telling my dad as he's pretty active in the church (and he helps me pay for college, still have to wait until I'm financially independent for that conversation).
I feel like some of the weight is off my shoulders now. Future conversations with relatives are looming, but for now I'm relieved and happy!

Glad you lifted that wait off your shoulders! I wish my story had gone as smoothly, when I was asked if I was atheist I kind of chickened out and said agnostic and while my gramps and Mom took it well, my grandmother (who doesn't really believe in religion, but does believe in God) started saying that 1 day I would need God that we all need God and she never let me make my point and then said this topic is over. After that things have been normal, it was most likely a heat of the moment thing but it still stung >.>
