I recently came out to my brother and my friends who are all accepting. I am still struggling to tell my family though. Not sure I am brave enough to tell them face to face. I am thinking of writing a letter too my mum explaining everything about how I have been feeling and how I have struggled for years. Is this a good idea? Once I know she is happy for me, I plan on telling the rest of my family on Facebook.
Writing a letter is typically a good alternative to doing it face-to-face. This way, you can express all your feelings you want to in a thoughtful way to your mother without worrying about accidentally messing up at some point when telling her.
