filtered so Ella can't see

Some progress today so far. I've taken the day off, and spent most of it so far with Ella while everyone else was out. She's in the shower now, but she doesn't hate me any more. If she did hate me to start with, that is. Dislike. There you go

I'm glad you've got that far. Telling my own parents was the hardest thing, and I didn't have the Catholic issue or anything like that to deal with. They were actually really supportive, and still are, but I was so scared before I did it. It's good that Ella will have you to support her through that. I hope it is not too awful for the both of you. If there is anything I can do, I will be there for you.

They won't like it, Pierre, not one bit. I think she's coming around to the idea that I want to help her, and I'm not there to patronise her. You're lucky to have good parents, and I'm sure you're a good parent too. And thank you.

Well, thank you for the compliment :) It means a lot.

There is too much of parents freaking out and not being supportive when their children need it the most. A friend of mine came out to his parents, and that just went so badly. I'm glad that Ella will still have family to be there for her, even if your parents are not. Though I do hope they will put aside their issues and act as they should.

I hope so too, but I know them too well. I'm sorry about your friend, at least he has friends who can support him in the absence of family.

Hell yes he does. No way we'd ever do anything less.
