Wow this got posted. Ok so here is some background. She thinks I am bisexual. And is already wanting grandchildren. I am 24 and she mentions it alot. And I do want children one day....but that day is far off. She has 6 grandchildren from my step brothers but she really wants biological ones. About the medium part. Out of the blue she texts me asking if im interested in a specific looking woman, then tells me her medium said to be on the look out for her. I had no idea my mom believed in that crap. So I thought it was funny she went to one. She REALLY wants me to find a woman. Thanks for the encouragement and jokes. They brightened my day.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just be honest with your mother, it'll be healthier for both of you.

Just tell her. If she's that desperate to get you with someone she shouldn't care if they're male or female, as long as you're happy

He shouldn't tell her if his mom is homophobic until he is financially stable

If you can tell the Internet, you can tell your mom

Terrible logic.

Maybe ask the medium to tell her next time she goes?

if the medium is for real, he/she will tell her, talk to others and make a plan to tell her on your terms otherwise you will hsve to deal with it at the worst possible time when she finds out.

Lol 'for real'. You really think psychics exist? All they do is say vague things that could apply to anyone and then take your money for it.

@26 Psychics might exist but chances are high that they aren't the people making money off of it. I wouldn't trust a psychic because even if there are people who can see the future, the psychic I'd being paying probably isn't one of those people.

She probably already suspects - hence the desperation. Don't worry about having the guts to tell her - it's not easy even when you know up front that you have a supportive family and I am guessing that yours is not going to be happy about it. You'll come out to her when you are ready.

Tell her - maybe she will start going nuts trying to find you a good man.

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows mediums are for contacting the dead.

Mustn't be a very good medium if she doesn't know you're gay ???

"Mom, I have something to tell you, but first I think you REALLY need to get your money back from that medium..."

Mediums will describe one part of a person/situation and watch your reaction. If it's a positive one they roll with it, if it's negative then they change their "vision" narrative until you respond positively. It's all smoke and mirrors, it isn't real. They just fish for info and tell you what you appear to want to hear.

That's a shame she doesn't see the six as her grand kids my older sister is my half sister we share a mother any way three precious angels my dad would take a bullet for because to him these are his grand kids even if they aren't related to him by blood he even made them all rocking chairs for all their first Christmas

we cannot let our reproductive choices be made by others. gay or not, it isn't acceptable for her to behave like that about your choice to have children. childfree by choice is an option. speaking from experience.

the medium was clearly not very good if she couldnt tell you werent looking for a woman

I'm glad op's situation doesn't seem really bad but I also want to say..please don't push people to come out if you don't know their position or know it's not good. It can set you free..if it doesn't **** up your life. Safety over coming out. Be in a safe place financially and emotionally.
