"Today J had a blow. We have been having a lovely morning, gone to get his blood test re T.
Then the message came.
I have been personally amazed at how many people so far have been welcoming and accepting to J. His coming out has been a catalyst for support. Except from the place we know it will the least likely. Family.
Those who have formulated an opinion of us based on varying moments in time, but they rarely stop to look at who we are right now.
J's sisters are doing it tough. One is caught up in fear, of how others will perceive J and themselves... Of how others will feel and think... Of losing the sister she was always close to. The other is caught up in fear of drama.
What they don't see is that all the drama is BECAUSE this happened!!!
I hope they take a breath and read the blog... It is now officially T minus 6 days!"
