    Hard to give advice here. You know your parents better than anyone on here.
    In my opinion, from the parts that I understood in your post, your parents don't sound like the kind of people who would dis-own their child or kick them out of home for coming out.

    Im sorry for the way that u feel at the moment. And i completely understand. It sounds as if ur parents would be understanding and accepting. Only you truly know them though, so that decision will have to ultimately be urs to make.
    That said, we can give you help that should provide some clarity. It sounds to me that ur other problem is figuring out how to say it. It may help to write down what u want to say to them on a piece of paper, and then, this may sound illy, but it helped me, go over what you want to say to them while standing in front of a mirror. It helps you get the feeing that ur saying them out loud to someone without the pressure of actually doing it. It may also help to write them a letter. That way you can clearly say all of what you want to say.
    Also, you just have to hope for the best. Try to see the good in people. Every peron has a little good hidden inside themelves that is just waiting to be found and released. Good luck

    No problem. Its good that you have a back up plan, and someone to fall back on. When yo do come out, jusst reinforce the fact that this isnt anybodies fault to them. Inform them of y u have done some of these things, and that is just a feeling you feel, just like they fel right in their bodies.

    it probably will, since theyve raised u since you were born. Theyve always seen you as you birth sex instead of ur correct gender, and itll take them a while to change their point of view on you. Im not saying that it wont happen, just that itll take them a while.

    Ya. Ik. I wrote my dad and stepmom a letter, and left it at their house when i went over to my moms, so they had a week to think about my sexuality. I havent told them my gender quite yet, but itll be soon. Theyll react positevly, and wont care. Thank goodnes for that.

    Damn. I just came out 3 weeks ago and let me say; it takes a lot of fucking weight off of your shoulders. It'll make you so fucking light that you'll want to fly. I was scared to come out for at least 3 years because I was so scared of being hurt or thrown out. As well as my moms wish to have a grandchild. Do it only if you feel like it'll end your suffering and make you want to fly.
