Coming out to family

[Niya W]

SO I showed my pics of me as niya to my cousin. He then showed it to his sister. His sister kind of freaked out. His reaction was don't go and say shit to his day. My dad knows and if said any thing to him he would tell her to **** of and then so would my cousin;.

[Beverley Sims]

That was an "insane thing" to do wasn't it.
Niya, it is hard to judge what others reactions will be.
I hope it goes well for you.

[Kate Simmons]

I kind of agree with Bev. Better to prep them first before dropping the "bomb", no?:)

[Heather_Shirly]

What made you show your pictures?

[I Am Paula]

If you are not planning on going full time, why rock the boat?

This may not have been the optimum way to break the news. But the cat is out of the bag now, so best of luck in dealing with the situation.

Hugs, Robin

His reaction was don't go and say shit to his day. Don't understand this bit? Is it a typo?

[Niya W]

dad I meant to say dad not day. I told my cousin about niya over the phone and he wanted pic.

Give her time. She may temper her initial freak out.

Maybe it was the nun outfit that got everyone upset? OMG... your Catholic?? Ekkkk!
