I'm stuck for something wise to say. Just know I'm here for you bro if you ever want to talk. I'll listen anytime.

It must be so difficult. How come your grandparents don't know about your transition?

I really hope your grandpa had a successful surgery.

Because my mom has asked that I wait to tell ppl so that she has some time to adjust, which I totally understood and respected.

You seem to be very close to your family (atleast that is how it sounds).

decided that your family was worth it to you, no matter how hard of a challenge it was for you. and with that said you were putting your family before anything in your life, no matter how difficult it was/is for you. i feel like i am rambling. hope some of that made sense. my thoughts are with you and your family. hope all goes well with the surgery. hang in there buddy :)

my dad had a 5 vessel bypass last year so i know how stressful that can be. i think that you being there will be a great representation of your strength of character and how good of a heart you have. whether or not you try to pass as female, i think being yourself is key. i think your family will be happy you are there regardless of your transition and if they start to make issue of it, i would explain to them the hard time you were having deciding whether to come at all and ultimetly decided

(cont.) If they can't love you for who you are then they're losing out in the end. At least you will have the comfort of knowing that you're doing all you can by being there for your mom when she probably needs you the most. If they want to address the subject of your transition, tell them it will have to happen at a more appropriate time. Just my thoughts of course. I know you will make the right decision for yourself and I wish you luck in whatever happens. Please keep us posted on everything.

I totally get where you're coming from. I would say go & be there for your mom. The family should accept you for the person you are... not the gender you are. If that becomes the center of their attention & the focus of their presence then maybe they shouldn't be there. I know we don't live in a perfect world, but blood is thicker than water & love is thicker than flesh. If they can't love you for who you are

Good Luck. I understand. I just told my Mom, I'm almost 4 months on T, and we are going to be visiting her entire family (over 30 people) this week. It will be interesting. Hang in there. You will figure it out. I would ask your Mom what she would prefer.
