Where is that *nervous* icon?
I have family (aunts, uncles, cousins) in NY/NJ and have been invited to my cousin's wife's baby shower in April. These family members know I am going through a divorce, but I haven't told them yet that I am a lesbian. I was thinking of letting them in on it while I'm there for the baby shower...well, not *at* the shower, but during that weekend. :0) I am nervous driving out there on my own, as I tend to get lost very easily. Heck, I've gotten lost in my home town a number of times, I'm embarrassed to say. But I told my aunt that I would try because I want to see everyone. Well, that was all well & good...but then I got this email tonight. My aunt suggested that I have my "friend" drive me to the shower...joked that she didn't even need to bring a gift. See, this past summer, my g/f drove me to NJ for a family BBQ -- she was heading out that way to visit her brother anyway, and so my family all met her then. I thought they were all in the dark, but now I'm wondering if they suspect the truth. I would love for her to come along with me, but now I'm terribly nervous. What if I bring her and tell them I am a lesbian, and they freak out because they had no clue?! I don't think they'd really freak out -- they are all so cool and nice and caring -- but gosh, I just feel so nervous. I would love to have my g/f with me when I tell them, but I think she'd be nervous about that. Oh, I don't know what to do now. I know I'm rambling. Sorry. I'm just so darn nervous about this! Ack!
