It's me again as I wander on my path to finding my sexual identity.
Despite my age, economic factors have me living at home with my parents again while I get my college back under control. And I feel like maybe I need to at least tell my mom about what I've been trying to learn about myself. Right now I'm trying to hide things from my vibe, to the articles I read here, to the fact that I have even started to focus my attention in this way at times.
My mom and I have always had a pretty open policy between us (a couple of significant exceptions were all school related), but I just don't know how to go about bringing this up with her.
I should also take the opportunity to clarify to her that I'm ace, now that I think about it, I have no idea if the hints I've been dropping for years have registered. Sigh
So I guess I'm just looking for some advice or pointers for a rather big conversation I need to have that I have no doubt I'll make awkward for myself because anxiety

I think for the sorts of conversation you want to have with your mom there are some useful questions to ask yourself a head of time like:
- Is there anything you'd like her to do or say differently now that she has new information about you?
- Are there any expectations you or she have, which you would like to challenge?
- Are there other things that you want to take away from the conversation?
