I plan on coming out soon. Because I still live with my family (dad and sister) and not independent yet I have to come out to them first so I can actually get started with transitioning. I am so terrified of the very thought of it (I'm sure you guys have heard this before though from other people, and I'm sure you were all scared to an extent too). I have realized finally I cannot live like this anymore. I was thinking the best way to come out to my family is through a letter. But I just can't seem to start one. I don't know what to say. Any letter samples I can refer to? Also how to stay calm while coming out and actually go through with it and not freeze up in fear?
