Decision

[eredien]

Well.
I've decided it.

I'm sick of living a lie and pretending to be happy when I'm not; I'm sick of having to listen for every little footstep on the stair and quickly find some more respectable message board to bring up on screen; I'm sick of laughing and pretending everything is ok when I'm being ripped apart inside.

I'm going to tell my parents I'm a dragon, dammit. I don't know how or when, but it will be done.

I know I didn't comment on the Tlands forums, but please be careful. Try not to do it when you're feeling very emotionally volatile, and try not to do it if you feel you absolutely -need- them to acknowledge and completely understand your draconity...I've only had to tell one parent, but even as open as she was, when I got visibly agitated talking about it she worried. You know your parents best and what they will likely be able to handle. I sincerely hope it goes well for you. Coming out is hard, very hard. But it's so worth it.

I didn't comment on the Tlands thread because I'm not out to my parent people - but I'm not out to them about a lot of things; being poly, having multiple tattoos, having given other people tattoos, having participated in recreational pharmecuticals of various kinds, many particulars of the life I've been leading, etc. etc. Of course, most of this happened since I moved out of the house; if you're still living with your parent people, I can certainly understand that it's a much more difficult issue to sit on and avoid. :/ Best of luck to you, dear, and *hugs* in advance. Let us know how it goes, okay?

Good luck.

I hope they react well. Come talk to me about it before or after or whenever if you want. I'm here for ya.

Sending luck..

Here's hoping that things go smoothly, and that they are understanding. But even if they aren't, you still have what you believe. Don't let them change it. :> *hugs*

You already know this but...

I'm behind you 100% as always. I hope it all goes well for you, cause I want you to be happy :) I only wish I could do the same with my own family, but, well, that just would not work.

I admire your courage and determination my love :) It makes me realize even more just how lucky I am to have met you!

*winghugs Eredien and sends her his best hopes for this to go well*

Thank you all...

Yes, I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes. Thank you for your support....Elynne, I'm in college, so I'm not living at home except when I'm on vacations. That's one reason why I think this is a good time to do this...they still see me, but not all the time.
