Yes Sarah we try to do our best to make peace with others. I have two brothers, they hate me and wish I was dead. I have done my best to make peace with them, but finally had to walk away and leave them to it. My children had a rough time when I came out and started to live as myself, but when I tried to apologise to them years later when they were young adults they told me it was fine and not to worry about it.
A few years ago we had a parish priest who knew I was TG and wasn't worried about it in the slightest. I made a very lengthy and tearful confession in his presence finally getting all manner of things I wasn't very proud of off my chest. In short Sarah we do what we can to put right what we are able to put right, but sometimes we can't and we just have to leave that with G*d.
Same here,my brothers and sisters haven't spoken to me in years. It took me over six months to get through all the people I needed to forgive. (Many of them I can't seek their forgiveness because we have not seen each in decades) So they have to be left in God's hands there is nothing more I can do unless we meet again.
All of the pastors in my church know that I am also. Two of them have become very good friends and I usually talk to them once a week for a couple of hours.
