This made me smile and laugh.
Go with the flow I suppose.
Spacial: you often make me smile real big. thanks
and Jessica: i'm sorry about your nephews reaction! the only thing i can think of to say is that with time he may come around. Also, having just come back from a war zone has messed with his mind. Dealing with life may be difficult for him now, and if that's the case, then his aunt's transition is likely the least of his worries right now. i hate giving advice since i hardly ever follow my own, but if i were you i'd try to be patient with him, and hope he'll let go of his fear and prejudice and understand you.
i haven't come out to anyone yet really, so my advice isn't very useful. but, my bf is ex special forces, and we've dealt with some of the aftermath of that together. what i've learned is that everyone tries. and WAR IS HELL! Surviving hell has it's own set of rewards/ life lessons learned.
it's your life. live it well, and forgiving (not forgetting!) people is living well in my opinion
