hey, i had the same problem when i as about 17. the way i did it was i told everyone one at a time, my mom was ok with it, my father was already passed away, but, he was bisexual so... the worst came from my sister whos way older than me... she disowned me and said i couldnt see her kids and all that. her oldest son stood up 4 me and my sister eventually got over it... my advice is... just tell them, thel them that you need to tell them who you are, not who they think you are or who they want you to be... that you dont want to hide it anylonger and that they r ur family and you shouldnt feel that you have to hide anything from them, and to your mother..... God still loves you, he wouldnt refuse to love you or love you any less for loving a creature that he created.... advice from one lesbian 2 another.................... butterflies002
