Slight Delima

Beans (They/She/Co)

So, here’s the thing. I am Aromantic, Asexual, and Sapphic oriented. Only one of my parents knows and the rest of my family doesn’t. I feel like it’s time to tell my dad, but I don’t know how. We aren’t close and we are pretty awkward. I really don’t know how to say it in a way that isn’t awkward or won’t freak him out. Any advice?

When I can out to my parents as AroAce they were very confused and had a lot of questions. If I were to redo it I would probably put on a video explaining what AroAce is, and then help them with any questions that they have after that.If they get loud or angry with you walk away. Your mental health is more important then them getting answers. Try to be patient with them, it’ll be difficult but you just gotta stay as calm as possible.Good luck on coming out, and you aren’t obligated to come out to anybody if you don’t want to. You don’t need to explain anything to anybody if you don’t want to.<3
