The Venting Thread

This isn't really a vent, but I don't want to start my own thread and I don't know where to put it.

My sister just came out to me. I am proud of her for being confident enough and brave enough to begin telling people who she is, but my heart breaks knowing how much harder her life is going to be. She was in tears asking me advice how to tell our parents, and I didn't have anything helpful to say. I wish I had magic words that would make things easier for her, but all I could tell her was I love her.

She's on the opposite coast in Seattle, my family is in California, and I'm in DC. She is meeting my parents in Lake Tahoe for the weekend and wants to tell them in person. I so just want to hug her or be there with her to support her and there's nothing I can do.

And people in this world are going to be crappy and make her feel like a terrible person for being who she is and there is nothing I can do to protect her from it

I want to vent, but there isn't much I can say. I just feel betrayed and hurt, scared and unsure. My entire life has been flipped upside down again, due to one person. Again. Because of someone misleading and petty and insane, like Jin. I've lost a friend, the best I had and who I thought I could always trust. I haven't slept all night and it is so hard to be logical and be the one who stands ground and lands on her feet, again. Somehow. I'm so tired of strife and drama. Tired of no way out, and tired of being betrayed by those closest to me.

Sigh. Life sucks.

((((hugs)))) I'm with Dizzy, I think it'll be easier because she has an awesome caring sister. Are your parents going to be accepting? Because a weekend where she's essentially stuck hanging out with them might not be the best time/place to tell them.

Laur, the bad news is that most don't. Very few people are able to actually mature past high school.

So someone sent me a fruit bouquet from Edible Arrangements. Ok, nifty and yay chocolate covered strawberries. However, they didn't sign the card and they sent it to an address I don't give out to ANYONE. All my mail goes to my permanent address and the only people that have this because they've stayed here are claiming they had nothing to do with the basket. Edible Arrangements themselves won't tell me anything about the sender because of "security."

I've got fruit from someone I don't know at an address no one has. I'M a little worried about security!
