Bexico,
What a great step, and I believe it is great that you are making a solid plan to do tell your family who you are! Things ALWAYS go smoother with plans!
Just to share, my parents confronted me before I had the chance to confront them! This was at a very young age though...my mother told me I was confused and my father told me that its OK to be different, only..inside not outside.
Many years later, my mother is still in rejects me...but what I can I say she is too proud of the concept of having a officer son >.< rather then well...me. Either way it works I suppose.
In summery, parents can be silly...they almost always want the best for their children. Sadly that best is often what their perception is as what will make them happy, not what WILL make their children happy and able to live satisfying fulfilling lives. But as most of us know, perception is reality and as such that perception of what is best for us is often their reality. On the other coin, I'm sure some of us here have some very enlightened parents who are able to support their children in a manner that their children need to be supported.
Respectfully,
-Violet
