Just got off the phone with the parents and it didn't go well.  :icon_sad:

Mum wont speak to me and dad thinks that everything except what I am saying is the truth and that I am just immature and dont know what I am feeling. He doesn't believe I have wanted this for so long and doesn't understand the difference between liking a girl and wanting to be one. Also sister now says she doesn't want to talk to me about it ever again and that she WILL NOT support me in this.

Feeling really hurt and alone. I need help cause I dont think I can face them ever again.  :icon_cry2:

Damn. I am sorry to hear telling your family has backfired. Perhaps you would consider writing them a letter to express yourself more thoroughly?

I'm really sorry.  Family can be very tough.  However, they can come around.  In my case, they go back and forth from bad to okay.  It depends.  I know it's tough, but hang in there.  It will get better.

Andria I'm so sorry, that's horrible :( *hugs* how old are you? do you have any chance to move out? try to help them see, but if they refuse to see and start harrassing you about it then it would be good if you had the chance to move out... at least eventually.
Thanks Glitterfly, I'm 20 nearly 21 and I am already out of home. I now live about 3-4 hrs away. But they still call every night.
Mum has sort of done the ignore everything approach for now and act kind but she is saying is that I am NOT allowed to read anything on the internet because I am easily influenced and I dont understand what I am going through. As for dad he's been swapping between not talking to me and giving the toughen up, go clubbing, pick up girls, go snowboarding stuff.
As for my sister its been over a week since I have first told her and the only time I have spoken to her since was her telling me that i'm weird and not to talk to her ever again.

... Sigh :(
Thanks for the support I think I just need to vent a little. And your right they should come around eventually and if not in the near future then I'll just have to bear it and try and convince them until then.

You're already out? Then don't let them push you around! Tell your mother 'you're not allowed to treat me like dog poo on a stick, you stop reading stuff on Internet if it makes you act horribly towards your own child, I'll keep using the Internet because at least I do it responsibly' (...or something along those lines). Sorry xP I just hate to see someone treated like that :( seriously, don't let them push you around... try to stay nice but let them understand that you can also cut them out of your life if they don't accept you, it works both ways... You can start by ignoring their calls for a few days, if they don't change. *hugs* please take care of yourself and don't let them hurt you... and try to cheer up~! (._.) (^‑^)

I must agree with Glitter I mean yea sure they are your family but if they trully love you the realisation of losing you could bring them around. Oh btw I told my parents 4 years ago, lets just say 1 day 100% support next day I wear a bra -1000% support haha family is well unpredicable
you will have to just wait it out and give them time.
Awww no my little kitten gif site is gone :( sad.

Sorry to hear that sweetie.
At least your mom is still talking to you. I'm sure it's not easy. My in-laws pretty much cut me off. My wife and I are staying together, but they want nothing to do with me. They've been trying to talk my wife out of staying ever since. They've even made up things to try and make me look bad. It's not easy.
As for the easily influenced thing... well, I feel that a lot of parents say things like that when their kids say something they either 1. aren't educated on or 2. don't agree with. Not just LGBT issues, but anything.
Maybe you should see if you can find some pamphlets or something on transgender and mail them to your parents, so they can understand the pain you are going through, and that it is REAL. It's worth a shot. I sent my in-laws a letter to explain what I was going through. Apparently that made things worse, but that's just because they're as stubborn as they come and just don't want to have to deal with reality.

Anyway, I hope things get better. Feel free to PM me. I'm on every day.
