I feel kind of weird right now...
I just came out to my favourite Uncle, Michael, the first relative I cam out to outside my parents. And the First relative in Germany...
I know that he'll tell the whole family... And I don't know how they'll all take it.
You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

hugs you. You know you did this because you wanted that outcome

It's kind of odd really... I really wanted to do this, but then I'm afraid that I may have rocked the boat too much.

I think Timmy has a point, that perhaps you chose your Uncle Michael knowing there was a good chance he'd pass it on to the rest of the family, and thereby remove any need for you to have to go through the whole thing over again with each member. I wish and hope that it all turns out for the absolute best for you (at least you might find out out which of your relatives truly love you and which, if any, do not; not terribly reassuirng perhaps, but at this point it might be better than wondering about it).
Having said that, I must say I admire your courage. {{{hugs}}} Good luck!

Thanks for your concern.
To be frank on this matter, I'd rather be hated for who I am than to be loved for who I am not. So if someone (At worst) dis-owns me, then that is their loss. As far as Michael is concerned, he took it pretty well, I think.
He's normally cool with it... So let's see what happens...

that is an awesome way to look at it. you wouldn't love yourself, wholly, if you were living a lie--and self love, sometimes, is the most important of all. i really hope it all turns out well for you.

I don't know you very well yet, but well done. I remember very well the combination of dread and relief after telling important people...it IS a weird thing.

How could they? They know, just like I do how wonderful you really are.
Much love to you everyday,

I told my father's mother, she is really cool with it.
And I know that I have 1 grandmother, at least, who will love me no matter what...
