Title: Came out to Sister (well kinda)
Post by: Just Shelly on February 27, 2011, 11:21:55 PM
Ok, I got somewhat emotional while watching the Transgender special on the OWN network Monday or maybe Tuesday (I don't know).

I decided to text my Sister this:"watch the program thats on the OWN network right now". About in the middle of the program, when it wasn't as informational but more sensational. Oh well! She text me back, "I will, Thanks"

I figured along with some of the changes I have incurred she may have some questions. I have not received a call, text, or email since.

I don't know what to think. I'm starting to think she is avoiding talking to me. We don't talk much but after this text I thought she would at least give back some correspondence. I do not have the courage to call and talk in person, so I guess I'll wait and see.

Anyone have any other advice?

Shelly

Hmmm I wouldn't worry too much about it. She might not have even turned to the channel to watch it so you could be worrying about nothing. :)

That is a good way of hinting at it though instead of actually bringing it up in person to her since some people react badly. This will give her time to take it in and accept it if she watched it and got the hint.

If a really long time passes then maybe just message a simple hi what's up to her just in case everything is fine and she's just been busy.

She may just be playing games with you.
