| If your parents are important to you then disclosing in person is preferable, doing so by telephone is good when physical proximity doesn't allow face-to-face contact. You may prepare for the occasion by writing out your thoughts in a letter. Write out your thoughts, edit and pass your letter past several informed persons you trust. Try to avoid overemphasizing how anguish you have suffered or how desperately you fear losing them. Be confident. Try to save the more unsettling details for a conversation after your parents have heard the basics. In my practice I regularly provided consultations to parents seeking information about gender issues from an objective, specialized source. You can do the same by providing your parents 3rd party literature that they can read about the issues you are facing. Examples of literature include: Coping with Crossdressing (JoAnn Roberts, Ph.D.); The Uninvited Dilemma (Kim Stuart) or Information for the Female to Male (Lou Sullivan). |
