    Came out to my parents tonight. It was so tough and the reactions weren't the best. It's hard staying strong right now. Just needed to vent.

    it might be tough to stay strong but you can do it. hopefully they'll come around, and you can always vent whatever's happening, whatever you're feeling about it etc. here and we'll support you through it. if you need to talk, we're here

    Wow! Proud of you. That is a huge step forward. How do you feel about it?

    I feel a weight lifted knowing that my parents now know the truth. But I feel a burden added because they are blaming themselves. I've done all I can to explain to them they didn't do this and I didn't choose this. But so far they are just devastated.

    maybe it's just the initial shock? maybe once it sinks in they'll be alright with it
