Only the OP has any idea whether their parents would even react badly or not. Giving them straight up advice to simply not tell their parents, isn't necessarily the best advice here.
I mean, what if their parents would actually be completely fine. You're then saying this person should live in the closet for their entire childhood and teenage years? How's that smart.
In answering your question, Nap, I think Pascal's Wager will show the way. If the parents are going to be okay with it, you've risked much but gained very little that was necessary. But if the parents go spazzo bonkers, prepare for hell unrelenting.
