just had over a half an hour convo with my parents... a couple key takeaways but my FAVE was "when you came out, we love you, we really do... were we hurt? yes, yes we were" soooo now i'm going to bed knowing that i cause my parents a ton of pain for being myself.... love that
oh and they refuse to call me by my proper name/pronouns because they can't all me anything different than the name that they were given by God to call me... love that too
