    I'm at the point where most of the people who matter know i'm Bi. The only 2 people who remain is my birth mom and my sister. Im fine with just saying "im Bi" and the reply being short and sweet like it had been for everyone else however I know my birth mom and sister are going to go into a frenzy of embarrassing questions. " have you done anything?" "who with?" "are you safe?" "how was it?" because they love to prod into personal stuff so how do I avoid this , turn the tables on them when they start or should I just accept the inevitable

    In my point of view, that is natural, because your mom/sister worry about you, and they probably don't know exactly what being Bi means. I would answer their questions casually.

    Thank you . When they do start asking I'll assure them I'm safe ect but if they ask any questions that are to deep I'll just tell them it's personal and hopefully they'll stop there.
