How I did it: i didn't know what I was so afraid about in the first place. besides the fact that i was born into a christian family gave me the shivers to think that they would disown me in a second. for many years, i've struggled with myself on how the divine one could play such a practical joke on me on my sexual preference. it took many years for me to come out to myself and accept that i am what i am and there is nothing wrong with it. so i finally went out with my ex and tried my damn best to hide everything. as years go we become more serious and i wanted my parents to know. they seem to live in denial of the fact that i was with another woman. soon as problems arise in our relationship, i finally told my mom about it and to my surprise she had already know. everything went along fine despite the eventual breakup that i had. my parents still love me and comfort me about my life. they said to me that they love me regardless of my choice. i am still their daughter and they are happy for me as long as i am happy about my life.

Lessons & tips: your parents know you like the back of their hands so they probably already suspect it. it's all about timing. they are still your parents and deep in the hearts, they love you. talk to them when you feel the time is right, listen to them and assure them of their fears. no one will get the message if you all shout at each other.

Resources: just the belief in myself and what i want in life.
