Secretly married, need to tell family, but don’t know how to...

Ray

Basically what I said in the title. My hubby and I got married six months ago secretly due to knowing we were ready to be together for life. He told his family afterwards and everything was fine, but I’m scared to tell mine...I’m still very financially dependent on them and i’m worried that they’ll be angry and will cut me off (financially and with love). I love my family so much, but at the time it felt right to do so, and now I just feel bad for not telling them/waiting till they could come. I’m 18 and he just turned 20 and we’ve been together for quite a long time now, and we’ve lived together over the summer but I moved for college and he’s working a very good job while being away. Please don’t judge, I just want some opinions on how I should go about telling them. I need to tell them now (this thanksgiving week) before my husband comes to visit and stay with me and my family. Any advice will help, thank y’all so much. I just wanna tell them and do the least amount of hurt towards them, cause I know no matter what it’ll hurt them because of how they feel about family and such. Not sure if I should go about telling most family members one by one or just tell most of them together...I don’t wanna be ganged up on by my family (they tend to do that when they’re mad). I’m very very nervous.

Thank y’all again, anything helps! (sorry if this sounds ridiculous, I just could really use some advice for what I’ve gotten myself into).
