That's right, guys, gals and everyone in between, the time has finally come. Many of you have offered support and encouragement over the last several months as I have grappled with this issue over and over again. Now, I have finally reached my decision. I'm ready to tell her, and I think she's ready to know.
To those of you who don't know, my sister is 3 years older than me (she's 23). I've often wondered whether or not I should tell her, for various reasons including her obvious stereotyping and what sometimes appeared to me as intolerance. Now, however, I think if I tell her, I will be safe. For one thing, she doesn't live at home anymore, so even if there is a negative reaction, it will only be for the weekend.
She is coming home this Friday at around 9 PM. I have already asked her not to make any plans so she and I can hang out (we've gotten close like that recently). I plan to tell her about this part of myself, and, of course, ask her not to repeat it. My mom has already suggested to me that I omit (and deny, if necessary) the fact that I have borrowed my sister's clothes over the years. I think this is a good idea, even if my sister doesn't believe it completely, she can at least have some doubt and that will be enough for her to feel comfortable.
If anyone knows of any resources I can refer her to, please let me know. I really see this as an opportunity for her to get to know me in a way she never has before, and I want to make sure she gets the right idea.
Well, that's it. I will, of course, update you all once this conversation has taken place. Once again, thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement so far. I look forward to your reactions and any advice you can give on how I might approach this whole situation.
and best wishes!
Good for you Valerie!
