    And it feels so weird. Good, of course, but weird. Yes, they were accepting. I know that they will have loads of questions, and that we have a long way to go yet, but they were accepting.

    I'm not really sure where to go from here; it's like my world was just taken apart and put together again. It's how my world should've been all along, I guess, but it's different enough that it's going to take a lot of getting used to.

    One day at a time, I guess. One day at a time.

    Congratulations.
    I'm glad it went well for you.
    I hope to tell my parents some day. This gives me a little hope.

    I'm glad, too. To be honest, though, I didn't think I did. I was very, very pleasantly surprised. :slight_smile:

    Yay! That will make life so much easier in the long run. The transition after is hard, though. I know exactly what you mean when you see like your life has been taken apart and put back together. It's just now starting to feel like those pieces are getting arranged correctly for me.
