Oh frell, Oh frell..

My parents just noticed me wearing Girl jeans and the talk almost went somewhere before I was ready for it...
Oh goddess, my hearts going insane. TT--TT

Do it! Are they the type of people to accept you? Even if they don't seem to be, they may! /push out of prison

Honesty is almost always the best policy.

In my experience if you dont make an issue out of things and dont conceal it like some dirty secret other people are less likely to do so... Then again I suppose that for some people the issue is you dont want to come out because you arent really sure what you want... whereas I was.

Then again what do I know? I came out to everyone aged four before I was even aware of the risks and in the persistent and rather direct way that only a four year old could ever get away with... Like everyone my path to the surgeon did have a few hiccups but even so nearly 50 years on and having lived the majority of my life as female it really didn't go so badly

I'm moving out in a few days and I was going to tell them then. I just don't want the next two days to have a cloud over it. I'm pretty sure they'll be supportive though.

Eek "the talk"

I had so many such talks with my dad as a child and all through my teens, I know all about how your heart is feeling!  Through all of them, I never admitted the truth to him.  I guess I just wasn't ready.

I want to say something about parents' blindness-so despite getting caught wearing girl's stuff umpteen thousand times growing up, I was able to get out of those talks every time with him having accepted that it wasn't anything to be concerned about.  "Oh I was playing Smurfs and I was just being Smurfette when you walked in" lol..  I never thought I actually convinced him, I totally assumed he was just letting me off the hook.  I mean seriously, after 20 or so times would you really believe a word I said?  30?  He was far from an idiot.  But then when I finally came out to him a couple years ago, he just couldn't believe it.  "but there were no signs."

So I'll say you should tell them if you feel ready.  This is an opportunity you should take advantage of, believe it or not.  Not fessing up did not work out well for me.

As others have said .. only do it if you feel ready.

I'm in your position atm.. I'm so scared to say. I'm looking for a sign or a 'perfect day' to do it. But there's no such thing. I'm bloody scared. I admire your bravery if you tell them before you move out!

Have the talk.

Sometimes we have to be brave. If they know it helps. Explain and don't apologise. Tell them how you feel. They are your parents and I hope they love you. They may be in shock. Talk to them. Let them love you, you are their child. Sometimes we need to explain the situation.

Hugs
