Telling my parents was harder than telling my husband

Sending you so much strength. The first few weeks are the hardest and they do pass. What helped me was writing everything down — dates, who said what. It kept me sane and it mattered later.

when i told mine, my dad went silent for weeks and it nearly broke me. he calls every sunday now. not promising yours goes the same way, just saying the first reaction isn't always the final one.

felt every word of this. my parents came around eventually, my aunties took longer, and i stopped waiting for the aunties. you did the hard part.

same for me. two years of hints before i could say the actual word to my mom. give yourself credit for even starting the conversation.
