Reply To: Well… I told my daughter – It went well

Being ready for the ‘flood’ following a reveal to close family and friends just does not prepare you for the ease with which a lot of them accept us.

My Aunt Kathy helped mom with both my sister and I until I was about 2, and she has been extraordinarily close to sis and I all our lives.  When that fateful day came and sis and I went to tell her about Paula and step out of the family closet, I was in no way prepared for her response.

Her words hit me like I never expected.  “Well, it’s about time you said something.  I’ve been waiting for a long time.  Now sit down and I want to know EVERYTHING.”

So, so much better than the next several friends and family I told. She and my sis stayed right behind me as many relatives as they could.

Treasure the family who know Abbie, and let them see what wonderful person you are.
