    I placed a note on my mum and dad's bed. Just five minutes ago, I heard my dad walk into the room and when I checked, the note had gone. I am hoping for the best, since he definitely saw it. He's probably waiting for my mum to get home.

    It turned out really well! Both my mum and dad were very accepting and they said it was a very well written letter - some of the language I used was that of an adult mind. We did agree not to tell my sister at the minute though, because with how she is right now we don't know if we can completely trust her to keep it to herself.

    Thanks, though my head did really hurt for the rest of the day since I was just adjusting to their reaction.

    I'm glad everything went well for you! I don't know what the situation is with your sister but take as much time as you need. You've made a successful big step already :slight_smile:

    Wow! I read the later posts and it's great your parents had a good reaction! Mine were...different. Hope they keep this up!

    The situation with my sister is that her boyfriend is changing her quite a lot and neither my mum nor my dad like it so we thought it was best to be on the safe side.

    Thanks all you guys! I'm really happy now that I have everything out of my head. My dad even let me keep the £20 that I was going to pay him for some game stuff because he was happy that I was so honest. Win-win.
