Here's my situation, I dont live at home, but I have a fairly good relationship with my mom. I'm filing for my name change next week, and dont want to feel like I'm "sneaking around" with my transition anymore. So I've made up my mind I'm going to tell her what's going on before I file the paperwork. I think once she gets over the idea she'll be fairly excepting, but I'm expecting her intial reaction to be one of suprise and denial. I'm not really sure how to deal with that, or bring it up. My attitude through most of my transition has been to just bulldoze my way through it, I see most of the people in my life as just passing through anyway, so I dont really care so much what they think or feel the need to explain myself to them. But after a conversation I had with a friend of mine last week, I realized I havn't really technically come out, I just kinda show up, and figure if they have questions they'll ask and maybe I answer maybe I dont. But it kinda feels like I'm avoiding the issue. So I was wondreing if anybody has some suggestions for doing this the right way. What questions should I have ready? I'm probably going to do it this weekened and file the papers on monday.
