    I'm pretty much adament about coming out as trans to my parents this year because honestly, I can't stand living like this for much longer, so I've been trying to communicate my thoughts by writing a letter about how I feel and then sending it to my parents when I'm ready. The only problem is that I'm never satisfied with how the letter turns out, because I either don't explain myself that well or I end up writing myself into a corner, not knowing how to continue writing. I've probably rewritten the damn thing at least 8 times since I started writing it back in March, and no matter how many times I revise it, it never turns out the way I want it to. Does anyone have any advice for how I should go about writing the letter? Is there any specific information that I should include or leave out? I really don't want to screw this up, so any and all help will be appreciated. :help:
