    Heyyy,

    Just thought I'd share that I plan on coming out to my parents this week. Simply cannot hide it any longer, I need to start living for my happiness and forget how they will take it. Just wondered whether anyone has any last minute advice before I take the plunge?

    Cheers for the support guys! :grin:

    Just take it slow and everything will turn out okay! If you feel the time is right to come out to your parents go for it! :slight_smile: make sure they are comfortable and try and make it a good time for them! Make sure you are ready to answer any questions they throw at you and don't get angry if the question offends you just answer it really calm! Your gunna do great! Good luck I hope everything turns out wonderful! (*hug*)

    Good luck! I hope everything goes really well!

    Honestly, don't forget to breathe. And don't feel like you will disappoint them if you come out. I'm sure they'll be super accepting!

    Good luck! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    When you decide to do it, just say it to them, don't make it take longer than it has to. It must have taken me 5 minutes just to get those two words out of my mouth, which caused a 20 minute "you know we'll always love you" speech. Try to say it like it doesn't really matter much, that you just wanted them to know.
