It's like a weight lifted off my shoulders! I told my parents. I tried telling my sister yesterday and couldn't get it out. I think I needed to start with my parents on the family side. I knew my mom would be okay with it. She just smiled, hugged me and told me she knew. Not much of a surprise, but I didn't know how my dad would take it. He just smiled and said okay. They told me that it didn't change anything, they still loved me. I cried, not out of sadness. I was so unbelievably relieved to finally say it to them! I have to thank everyone on here for the support and advice. There are a few other special people that I have to thank as well. My best friend has been the biggest support of my friends. She was the first person I told, and her coming out in support of equal rights on facebook today helped more than I thought. Thankfully I have people to put me in an amazing mood, and want me to be who I am. Thank you guys! I still have a long way to go, but I know I can do it now. Thank you thank you THANK YOU ALL!! I wish I could hug everyone that is here for support! (&&&)

Thank you everyone! I plan to tell my sister and brother-in-law tonight. I'm pretty sure they know. I guess I don't hide it well. Not that I've been trying super hard.
