    I really want to come out to my step dad. I really, really want to. He deserves to know. I love him so much. But every time I get the opportunity to tell him, I just can't get the words out. It's not like he's homophobic, quite the contrary, he's very accepting. I don't know why I'm so afraid. It's silly really, I've been through much worse with him. But all I know is that I'm absolutely petrified to do this. :tears:

    Okay, so five minutes after posting this, I steeled my resolve, turned on my favorite song, wrote him a letter, had a good cry, handed it to him and fled from the room. Then he came into my after reading it, gave me a hug, told me he loved me, said good night and left.
    Yes!!! I did it! It's been seriously been months and I finally did it and it couldn't have gone better!! :grin: :grin:

    It's amazing that he is so loving and accepting of you. He seems like a great man to have in your life. Hopefully one day we will all find that kind of acceptance :slight_smile:

    Hmm, do you know how to cook? If so, you could put the message in food served to him. Like maybe doing something to create multiple colours like a rainbow.
