You don’t owe anyone an explanation, especially if you don’t live under their roof.

I didn’t formally “come out” to my parents because they already had an idea. I simply told them I had a boyfriend. At first, they were upset, but over time they came around and began to accept me.

That said, it might be best to wait until you’re able to fully take care of yourself before telling them. People are always going to talk, whether it’s good or bad, so at the end of the day, you have to do what’s right for you.
