coming out

RE: coming out
Coming out really depends on how your parents are. Do keep in mind that this will be the first experience they have with a child of theirs not having their faith so they may not know how to respond.

Just communicate your ideas clearly but don't explode on them. As far as waiting to come out vs. doing it now that really depends on what you know about your parents. My parents would never throw me out of the house, and didn't, because I did not believe what they did. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am though.

But I definitely think you should tell them because I also believe children should be able to be honest with their parents.
