    Lately I've been feeling the urge to tell my parents, and my sibling that's I am bisexual.. But I can never get the words out.

    How is it so hard to say a few words?!

    Also, I don't know how to tell them. Is it better to tell my mother first then my father? My siblings first? My dad then my mum then my siblings?

    I'm so damn confused. Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    I'd think about who you are closest to and whom you can confide in best. Tell one person at a time, and it gets easier.

    OK...so the next thing to consider is who you feel would support you the most. Females are usually closest to fathers so maybe try him?

    I suppose I could. I think he'd support me, but he has slightly bigoted views about gay people. *sigh* Why is it so hard?

    I think you will find it will be different when you speak to him, especially when he sees that it makes his daughter so happy :slight_smile:

    Yes, try to consider who would be the most accepting of you. Sometimes your siblings can be a bit more accepting just because they're from a younger generation which generally has more acceptance to the issue of sexuality. You are the best one who knows your family members though.

    It's hard for most people at first to utter those few words so don't fret. You're not alone. It gets easier as time goes on. :slight_smile:
