    Well, that's it...I'm out to my brother, sister and parents and I feel on top of the world and like a big idiot all at the same time.
    None of them had any problem with it at all (Why did I even think they would?) and my parents even said they had suspected. Duh...
    We live in different countries and tend to text or email so I texted my brother and sister and mailed my parents. I got the most wonderful accepting replies that put the biggest smile on my face.

    So in my case the only problem with me being a Kinsey 4.5 is the ridiculous stories I had made up in my head about how my family would react. I kept ruminating and got stuck there for quite a few years.

    I haven't posted much, but I have read a lot of stories and each and every one has contributed to giving me the strength to do something I should've done a while ago. I'm very grateful for that.

    Thanks for posting and sharing your experiences!

    I'll hang around a bit longer, cause this is a nice place to be.

    Life is good.:icon_bigg

    Congrats on taking the leap and doing it! :slight_smile:

    You are right. Most of the time the reactions in our heads are way worse than the real thing. Enjoy and the best of luck in everything! :slight_smile:
