I saws my therapist, D, on Thursday. She thinks I need to come out to my parents soon. I agree with this. I'm so afraid that they may find out from someone else and I don't want that to happen. I want to control when it happens. I want to own it. It's the last hurdle.

| Could you be upset w/me while I'm holding this? |
Now that my nephew is born (5/29/11) I also want to be holding him when I tell them. I was thinking of making him a onesie that says "My Aunt isn't a lesbian, but her girlfriend is." That's another thing, is the term "gay" usually used just for men? It could just be me but "lesbian" is quite the mouthful (twss). I much prefer to say that I'm gay.

Ok, scenario: I tell my parents. Do they sweep it under the rug? Hopefully not. With any luck, they say "Whatever, you're still our daughter and we love you no matter what. Now put the baby down." My Dad is kind of matter-of-fact like that. Mom, well I'm sure there'll be tears but not because she's disappointed. I think she'll be upset because she'll think of any prejudices I may come up against. At least this is what I tell myself.
