    Do what your most comfortable with if thats talking then talk but if your better at writing a letter then I say write the letter and see how you feel. Good luck.

    If she knows you're on here, then remove avatar, or else she's going to read everything you write.

    It might be time to come out though.

    I'm a fan of coming out letters - depending on your temperament and who you're coming out to, coming out in person might end with you getting into a yelling match, getting teary and incoherent or forgetting something vital. Letters mean you can draft out what you want to say, reread, edit, and make sure you haven't left anything out. If you think it'd be better to come out face-to-face, I'd at least suggest writing a couple of things down and planning out on paper what you're going to day - not word-for-word, but a basic outline can be helpful. Good luck!

    Well, I don't know if she actually knows what this site is about, but if she knows, it might be a catalyst to coming out. And that can be a really good thing. There's plenty of material on this site to help you come out and if she's already clued in a tad and hasn't had a bitch fit, then chances are, it's going to be safe. :thumbsup: Maybe you should print off some PFLAG materials and prep a speech? One's not necessarily required, but it can prove helpful.

    Perfect oppertunity, but if this isn't the right time then don't.
    Letters are good help you say things more consisly and in exactly the way you want. So whatever you want is cool just try to relax!
