I think I am approaching an important milestone in my life....
Is anyone willing to share their experiences...about...when they told their
parents, or how, that they preferred same sex relationships?

Know thyself and know thy parents, and thou shalt be victorious.

Nuh...
I know thyself, and thyself absolutely must overthink everything.

My parents are Roman Catholic, and I love them too much to hurt them. 'Nuff
said. =)

To which you can say "I prefer to be called a two-fisted cock-master."

(...although I'm guessing in morgaine's situation that may be less than
helpful)

*winces*
Sarah my parents are Roman Catholic too...but when I think about not hurting
them...I think about how my other always asks me if I have found someone to
make me happy yet, and I have to say no, lest telling her....and for some
reason I have made myself cry here. I don't want to lie to them anymore.
Through it all, yeah, maybe they treated me poorly sometimes, but they are
still my parents, and if I were my daughter (lol), I would want my daughter
to be honest with me.

Melissa- well, given the conversation you said you had with Virginia last
Christmastime I don't think they are going to be horribly shocked... Maybe
by you telling them, but not by, ya know, what you are. Ya know?

resp:8 People can be loudly broadcasting lots of stuff and have hardly
anybody know about it. Take Nikken for example. Just about everyone
you ask never heard of it.
resp:4 So far everybody I've run into (including you) has been like
this. They become upset if the person they are sharing their problem
with fails to understand (meaning tell them that what they are feeling
is not wrong or bad) You and I have had that problem and it has fueled
many of our arguements on both sides of our marriage. Anyway, I'm not
sure the operative word here is "coddle" so much as "cuddle". People
need someone to love them enough to be willing to listen without pre-
judging them or offering them needless advice. We need a person to love
us unconditionally and the way to show that love is to genuinely listen
and understand instead of just remaining silent or planning out
following dialogue or even interrupting the speaker. Now, if it wasn't
so hard to learn...
(speaker has full intention of practicing what she preaches, as she is
guilty of this offense on more than one count)
