God, I know I am gay/bi and I really love men, everything about them. But, I really am scared about coming out to my mom, dad, and sister. Would they hate me? Or would they just be in shock?
Please help!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?

listen, im 19 and only just come out after finding my true self. i was in the same boat as you and have only come out to one of my sisters, like you. and my mum and dad. first i thought they would got ballistic because of hurtful things said during when i was younger, but when i told my sister, which i wud advise you to do first, she went and told my mum anyways, (never trust sisters lol) and then my mum approached me and was really cool about it, sooner or lately it got round in work etc... and everyone is fine about it because issues arent made. i can only tell you from my experience but i think you should tell your sister first as it will be easier and then, like mine, she may let it go slightly to your parents. the thing is, when my mum told me what my sister told her, she said it ws nothin to be ashamed off, act cool and just say, 'oh no i know it isnt' and then just drop it. bring something up later that week and everything will run fine lol. hope iv helped, let me know how you get on. jamie

k jordan listen up!!!
i came out when i was 16 years old to my parents .well when i tried to hide the more i killed me to lie to them about myself.then when i told them that i was gay my mother and sister were not shocked at all they kind of figured it out. Btu wat really took the most out of me was convincing me father . But they all excepted who i really iam. So to you i have to say that when you are ready you can tell them but first talk to your mother or sister but they always have a senn of these things.. GOOOD LUCK NOW!!!! take my story as an example of family love kk
bye

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
