    Yes, good luck.
    Telling your mother first sounds like the right choice. She might be able to support and guide you in coming out to your dad, which will be more difficult. It's great that you have her, and I trust her presence means things will go well for you. :slight_smile: Congratulations on making the decision.
    (And Merry Christmas!)

    Hi there! Coming out to your mom first sounds like a great plan. As Lyana mentioned, your mum could potentially help you in coming out to your dad; she could perhaps also give you some insights on how best to come out to your dad when you feel ready. Plus, if there is family that is accepting and supportive, he might come around or at least trying to understand.

    It sounds like you are ready. Pick a good moment. And if one doesn't present itself easily, you can always create a moment where you can speak with your mom alone.

    Good luck. Hope you are enjoying the holidays. :slight_smile:
