I sent a message to my aunt on Facebook about something, and I know she's going to tell my mom and possibly question me.
I have been wanting to come out for.. Say, seven months now. I've been starting to stress about this a lot lately.
I decided to go find a gender therapist, but I need help from a family member being that I'm a minor. So I asked my aunt. I was going to ask my mom in person, but I didn't want to wait until the next time I see her.
I was going to delete this message, but my confidence peaked and I sent it.. I instantly regretted it.
At first I was like "Sweet, now I can go to a therapist and start dressing how I want!"..
Then reality kicked in, and I doubt it will happen that idealistically. Their reaction could be anywhere from severe denial to uncomfortable acceptance.
I'm most nervous about my grandparents reactions... It's been a good seven or so hours since then, and no answer. Then again, it is past midnight. My aunt may have sent me a message on FB, but I'm too nervous to check.
Anyway, any advice on what to do?
