One of the most hardest thing any of us have to do is inform our families of what we are going through.
I told my mum roughly as soon as i found out myself, and a few months later i told my nan. Today i told my aunt, fearing she would put on her judgmental face and deny my right to be who i really am, she surprised me... well, by not even seeming surprised. "You know how you feel and who am i to judge?" was her responce and she's with me 100% of the way and even intrigued to know how it all goes. Plus she tipped me with £20 to add to my funds (I know that isn't a lot, but every penny counts for me right now as i'm scraping together everything i have to just get my first appointment).
Just one more family member to go now, and since the rest seem so supportive aboutit, i'm not fearing the worst no more.
