need help

[miss_ann2669]

Well i'm having trouble telling my family what my sexuality is. Now the problem is this, my family beleives that if you are not " straight " then you will go to hell so I have been hiding this from them for some time and i'm tired of it. you see I have known for quite sometime now that i am a bisexual but it is not easy for me to let my parents and other family members whats going on. it has gotten to the point that i've hit rock bottom and am in need to be open about it to them how can i go about it with out losing my family?

you might not be able to have both. don't always work like that. you gotta decide which is more important.... being true to yourself or being true to someone else's ideals. if you're gonna be true to yourself then live your life. no need to make a big announcement. people ain't totally dense. they'll figure it out. sometimes letting them figure it out on their own is easier on everyone. good luck

DVM made some very good points. Do you need to confront them? Is that something that is necessary for your own well being? That should be the first thing you ask yourself. I do not believe there is any moral imperative that anyone come out about their sexuality to anyone other than those with whom they seek to establish romantic relationships.

If you do choose to come out to your family, you might very well find that while they condemn bisexuality in the abstract, they may find themselves unable to condemn a loved one for it.

Good luck. Please feel free to keep us posted on how things are going for you.
