Thanks, both of you!
I was with another small group of close friends recently over the weekend and told them. They were really there and really supportive! I was imagining the worst, and yet I saw that it does get better! For those of you who haven't replied, I know maybe you have your reasons not to, but, I hope my experiences serve as something you can use to feel better about yourselves if you have little support.
Being ME and being open about it has really been a huge weight off of my shoulders and has brought peace for me. That I am lucky enough to have such cool friends that accept me has made it that much better. I'm not afraid anymore, I refuse to be. I know that some people will eventually have something unsupportive to say, some of them will be hurtful, I'm sure.
I'm sure some of my family will try to interfere as is the usual protocol for those specific people who think they are the moral police. I'll have plenty of ammunition to throw back at em if need be. I only want that to be last resort though.
