So, my dad texted me yesterday and said, "I love you, and I think it's time we had a talk." So I'm going to be meeting up with him after work tonight. I'm pretty sure my brother and sister have pretty much filled him in on everything so it's not going to be any kind of surprise, but I'm still really really nervous to talk to him. I asked him on the text if he was upset with me or anything and he said no, that he just wants a chance to talk to me about things. Wish me luck :/
Thanks guys, I'm like .... kind of freaking out right now. Tomorrow is my physicians appointment for starting hrt so I'm finally about to get the ball rolling. I hope he doesn't try to talk me out of it. ugh
I think many people have "the talk" with their parents, I believe I have to someday when I come out or if I ever...Wish you luck!
Good for you for having the strength to realize who you are and the fortitude to follow through. Sounds like you have a supportive family. Congratulations on taking the next step.
I know the feeling. It's horrible and you think you can't do it. But you can! Don't spend your energy worrying about "what if" because you can't control his reaction. Be strong no matter what happens. This is really about you and your happiness. He's already said that he loves you and that he isn't upset. It's time for you and your dad to finally know each other, and that is a good thing. You can do this!
Good luck! I feel you on the stress. I'm sure my parents know, and I haven't (yet) been able to bring it up and out in the open. I wish they would sit me down to talk, I'd love it if they would bring it up but I know it will be up to me.
