Title: My Set date
Post by: Asheylov on September 14, 2016, 12:54:32 AM
Hi All

Right now Ive set a date to tell my parents on the 25th of September.

Ive got a list that I'm working through before that date arrives.

Some of my family already know . but the fear of telling them and waiting for their answer is killing me.

I'm so scared about it i really don't get my sleep until  its done :(  :'(


I'm doing a letter that explains it in a nice way and my Mum Sister will be there for back up.

my mum sister know and has read the letter so she is fully supportive. i'm still shocked about that.

but its nice to know that i have more family now that can help. :)

thanks

Ashley
