Knowing my brother as I do... I would be surprised if he didn't totally freak out. My sisters.. I know my oldest sister will completely freak out as she is an extremely hard right evangelical right wing psychotic christian hypocrite (i'm being nice with this description btw.. she is much worse than that). My other sister will probably shrug and say "whatever floats your boat, as long as you're happy.". My youngest brother and I don't see eye to eye at all for reasons best left out of this conversation but it involves his dad (my step-monster) and doesn't leave a conducive situation for brotherly/sisterly love between us.
Currently I am living with my other brother and his wife. Renting their spare room. When I finally do come out to everyone, I am going to have to have enough saved up so I can find and rent a new place if I have to. Being disabled, that isn't easy to do but I am determined to do what I have to do to be happy in my own skin. If they can't accept that, then I don't really need them in my life anyway. *shrugs* I'm 50. I lived all my life pretending to be another person and I have been miserable and unhappy the entire time. If they can't accept that I need to be ME and be HAPPY... it's their loss not mine.
