So I came home this weekend because my parents wanted to talk about gender / transition stuff.  My family has been pretty absent minded about it for the longest time.  Like they've know and they support me but they don't realize a lot that's going on and like the troubles of all their future planning for this summer / Christmas etc and stuff.

I finally got down to talking to them this weekend too.  I decided to send an email first just breaking them into it since I can get short tempered with my family at times because of not understanding.  So I wanted to make sure I stayed totally calm and understanding the whole time.  I got them to realize that maybe making a ton of future plans probably isn't a good idea when I want to go fulltime this summer.  So it's a start in the right direction. 

My brother is next on the list to really get down to and talk to again.  It seems like the closer I get to finally going FT the more difficult things become because everything I told my family is just forgotten and I have to like completely start over again.  It's going to be super awkward when it happens also so I also told them that I'm going to need a little space for a little while so I can adjust and stuff too.

Lets just hope this doesn't backfire on me haha

Good luck

Good Luck, judging by your photo they should start getting the message soon.

From your pictures I don't think youd have any problem going FT

good luck

Well I'm trying to express to my parents the need for sorta like a little time for adjustment because they've never seen me dressed or anything lol.  Like I said I'm not a big incorporator of them in my transition.  And I mean, I don't live with them so I don't think they have to be for that reason too.  I just sort of wanted to make sure I can live on my own and adjust first then I can deal with the harder issues of parents  / family and stuff when I'm comfortable.

So I don't know if it's a good idea.  But I'm going to try it and hopefully it will work out.

I think you will do just fine, they might be a bit shocked, but remember knee-jerk reactions are not indicative of the future, so even if they initially seemed shocked don't worry. Good luck.
