I'm bi and my mom is totally open minded about that sort of thing, yet I find myself not able to tell her...I'm scared things will change. I want to have an open relationship with her but and still scared to tell her. What should I do?

well at least you know your mom will be there for you. You may not be ready Today or Tomorrow...but tell her when you feel confident
-
Why bother telling her? She'll probably figure it out on her own and maybe she'll ask you.

I also am Bi-sexual. I had this same problem...I did however tell my parents and they are very close minded but they took it okay. So maybe you should just give it a shoot you will feel a lot better about it when you get it out in the open..Trust me

Your fear that things will change is true, things will change. But no matter what, things will change: they are changing now, because by not confiding in your mum, you're distancing yourself from her. Now you have a choice: allow that distance to grow, or take a step in the direction of becoming closer. That will be a difficult step, no one would deny that, but it's one you must take. So when the time is right, take a deep breath, and say it! Be prepare to explain yourself (why you think you're bi, what that means to you, etc.) -- to "share." And be prepared to give her a second chance (even a mom who is open-minded about bi-sexuality may react poorly when confronted with her own child's bi-sexuality, so give her a freebie and give her a chance to come to terms with this and redeem herself, if that's what it takes). It may turn out to be an easy transition. When I came out to my mum, she said "well, no duh!" Even if it's not that easy with your mom, I bet it will be worth it. So good luck!

I think you should confide in your mom, esp. since she is open minded. I'm sure you will feel better in telling her & also the two of you will probably get closer.
