So I've put off coming out to my mom for almost a year now. I set up a time for us to meet tomorrow and I'm going to tel her then. I'm really really really nervous. I'm scared she is not going to want me in her life anymore. I thought about writing out a really long and detailed letter explaining things, but I feel like it would just be too much. I've decided to go with something simple and short and then we can discuss things if she wants to. "Dear Mom, I love you. I'm transgender. I am a woman. I can no longer go on living as a man. It's not your fault. I have felt this way all my life. I love you, Your daughter, Tristen" If anyone has tips or advice let me know. I think I'm gonna throw up from the stress of it.
I'm so proud of you baby, you'll do great I just know it! <3 It's more important than anything to just be yourself! No matter what happens you will still be you, no matter how your mom takes it. From what you've told me I'm sure she'll be accepting. I'm rooting for you hon! <3 xoxo <3
I think that the short letter is a good idea since you will be there to answer questions. Your mom may not be accepting at first, but maybe over time she will understand. Good Luck!!
As the moment draws closer, I think I'm going to throw up from anxiety. I haven't talked to her yet this morning, but it's still early. I let you all know how it goes. ugh
God I know how fucking awful that feeling is! Yours is probably even worse! Hang in there though, it'll be worth it. No matter the response. You're worth being you.
