Parents think I'm delusional?
I've been surprised that my parents have been so calm and cordial ever since I came out to them about a week ago. I expected literal violence but instead there was just a lot of deadnaming and gentle but annoyingly persistent requests to "reconsider." I was talking to my sibling today and thru an unrelated discussion we concluded that the reason they're being so easy on me is because they think I'm insane.
And that thought makes me kinda wish my dad broke into my apartment with his gun instead of the current situation. Of course it hasn't been very long and I'm sure if the other shoe drops I'll be wishing for this kid gloves treatment over violence and harassment. Any one else's relatives act this way around them? Is it a permanent thing or are they just going thru shock right now?
