My dad is christian (along with the rest of my family), and probably won't react well to me coming out. But latley I've been thinking about it more than I already do, and I'm going to put this in a place where he'll read it soon. Here it is: Dad, This is Henry, I need to tell you something. This is all news to you, and for the past few years I've been thinking it over, exactly how things would turn out. I am a transgender. The most important thing you must know from this, is that I love you so, so much. And I'm aware you're probably furious right now. But I need you to understand, that this is who I am. There is nothing you have done that had to do with this. And no, it's not a phase. I know more than anyone else does how I feel. God made me this way, so I could sort it out, and learn from it. I love God, I love my family, and I love my friends. They are what keep me going. And I need you now more than ever. I understand this is extremely difficult to process, but just remember that I always will love you.
The letter is perfect. I couldn't have written a better one myself. Just be ready for questions when your dad reads it. Does your mom know?
Yes. My parents are divorced, so they live seperatley. I can be safe at her place, when my dads reads it. I'm not a fan of arguments and or yelling. There would most likely be yelling, so I'll just do that. Not sure if I'll end up moving into my mom's or not. I don't even know what the Lutheran Christian stance is on transgenders. Whatever it is, its his view.
It's an excellent letter. Good job on covering any possible issue that might arise (especially the phase thing), that really serves to enforce your points. Good luck
It's good and concise. Very straight-to-the-point, while reminding them of how important they are to you. I like it. Hopefully coming out goes well for you.
I think it is nice and short. Mine was a page and a half...... My parents are conservative catholics and they took my coming out pretty well, and I thought they were homophobic. Just think positively.
