    Hi everyone,
    I'm worried about coming out to my grandmother tonight as I don't know how she's going to take it?
    Help? :icon_sad:

    How did the rest of your family take it, assuming you came out to others?

    Their reaction to me coming out was better than I thought, but my Grandmother, I don't know how she'll take it! :confused:

    If your other family members were supportive, then consider having them near you when you tell her so she can see the support your getting from everyone. Would that work?

    It might, I'll be alone with her tonight anyway so I might as well pluck up the courage to tell her, considering I've kept it from her for a year, I'll definitely do it tonight.
