Scared telling grandparents

[Erin H]

Ok so like my mum, auntie and her husband know about me.
My dad like knows, but the problem is that i need to tell my grandparents, i'm like really scared because i don't know how the will react. What if they disown me and my mum
My granddad is exactly religious but my nanny is a catholic (not like a super one she doesn't go to church or anything).
I was wondering if any of you have some advice on how to tell them or gone through something similar. My mum said she and her sister would tell them for me maybe it would be easier that way, i don't know :/

I wish that I had told my grandma before she passed away. I feel like she never knew me. As far as religion goes some here may or may not see them selves as eunuchs but I do see myself as one.

"Let the eunuch not say I am a dry tree" again, "I will give them a name better than sons and daugthers" arm your with the book they read. They may not know that god does not jugde by the outward appearce.
Be gentle with them. Let them be persuaded in their own mind. If they realize that you are excepted by god than they may except you as well. Check out my link at the bottom of my post. Transspiritual. Look in my favorites.

Salisha, I was scared out of my mind to tell my Grandma (the only grandparent I have left). She's also Catholic, but she DOES go to church... twice a week in fact. And she watches Fox News a lot, and believes it. I thought there was a very good chance that she would be about 0% accepting of me.

You know what? She was, and still is, AMAZING about it. She told me that she could tell that I had been very unhappy for a very long time, and she was glad that I had started to take steps to make myself happy. Now, she asks about my progress whenever we talk, and she's very encouraging.

The point is, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Omg that's really good news i'm glad it went well for you
I hope mine are as accepting as your grandma, i have like my mum and my dads parents.
My dads parents think i'm a gay male because my dad told them that, because he don't understand transsexualism URGH he gets on my nerves so much !!!!! and they were fine with me being a gay male so maybe the might be ok with it.
My mums parents which i much more closer too is more important because they have been there for me and mum when we needed them, my mum says they should be ok with it but its still a gamble.
Going to tell them next week some time, i hope it goes well :/

I think your right, I know that my grandma loved. That is why I wished I told her. She went to chuch but she could see past things that other could not.
