    i don't know what to do anymore.

    I have this amazing girlfriend of 5 months, whom without I dont know how i managed before.
    ive committed myself to her, completely.

    i cant look my family in the eye and be with them. I feel like im punishing them for something i havent even given them the chance to respond to.
    we used to be so close, but im pushing them away, cause for the last 5 months, if not all the past cognitive years, i've not been me.

    i want to tell them about this girl that makes me believe in the stars, and tell them who i am! they trust me completely, and they have faith in me, how the F can i come out and tell them this. im not sure if i can deal with their emotions as well as mine.

    the friends i have come out to, have been ridiculously amazing. i feel so motivated by them...but family is different.


    can someone please lend some advice.
    i want to be completely with my girlfriend and be completely with my family? is that even a reality i can entertain??

    write a letter?

    Have they expressed anti-gay views before? How do you think they'll take it?

    its ok for other people to be gay, not our family though. my extended family is very conservative: no drinking etc, i know my family is a bit more liberal...but how do i explain the last 5 months ive been sneaking around and blatantly lying?

    thanks for the letter idea, i hadn't considered that...will give that some thought.

    thank you for your advice
