I was super disappointed by my family last night but it's morning again and I've realized that it was only the first fam dinner since I came out and... I'm still disappointed, but it's kind of to be expected. My family is full of people who hate change.

I hope they come around.

Very few family members will be able to immediately adjust to a new dynamic if they are just hearing of it. Takes some a while to absorb.

Again, I hope they can adjust and still be family

@ThatDamnCat Thank you! tbh it's hard to not react to my birth name, but I corrected them a few times last night.
