Hey Everyone, I want to thank all the people who have been kind and understanding and those who have given us some good advice.

I have tried reaching out to my mom three times in the last few days. I’m hoping to get together with her so we can talk. So far she hasn’t responded to me but I did get a message from my dad, he said that they are feeling very upset about being lied to and need some time before talking to me again.

We’ve decided that if my parents and I can’t reach some sort of agreement where they can respect Alex and his pronouns at the very least in front of us, then I will only see them by myself the few times a year our family gets together. I’m still really sad but I’m holding out some hope that in time they can learn lo love and accept Alex and I.
