#11: Acceptance is Key

Everyone is afraid of revealing themselves to people, but it can be especially scary when those people are your parents. No matter how close you are to your family, it can be frightening to take that big step to tell them who you really are. Even though they are expected to love us unconditionally, we don’t want them to see us differently.

Thankfully, this person doesn’t have to worry. His parents accepted him and were more than happy to accept and adjust to his change. It’s always heartwarming and comforting to know that parents out there truly love their kids through thick and thin, even as they age and change.
