amostpeculiarman: Hey Sebastian, I know you had the letter you sent to your family up for a bit. I'm probably just missing it but can't seem to find where it is posted. Any chance you could send me a link to and/or copy of it? A friend is about to come out to his folks and isn't really sure what to write. (I talked to my mom over a cup of tea to come out to my parents so I don't have a draft letter to help him). Thank you! Simon.

Hope this isn’t too late: http://xxboy.tumblr.com/post/766214818/the-letter-i-wrote-to-my-parents-on-december-27-2009

I think if I could do it all over again, I’d have included more in the original letter about how it is OKAY for them to struggle and have questions and concerns and even be angry or certainly sad. A lot of times our loved ones need to know that their emotional reactions are being validated and heard, even if they don’t/won’t impact our identity and transition needs.
