Yeah, I know it'll be bad. I have pictures and stuff, too...
I've been working up to telling them for a while now, saying little things to prepare them.
Like, this one time, my dad took pictures of me when my glamour was starting to drop and I had pointed ears, and I pointed it out to him a coupe months later when we were looking at the pictures.
That was around a year ago, and I've been dropping more and mroe obvious hints. My parents are both Wiccan, and believe in faeries. I don't know if they'll believe me, but it's getting dangerous for them not to know.
We live in a large city right down the street from an iron and steel processing yard.
I keep puking everytime I'm in a car because of the steel in it. (Steel is processed iron, btw.) Last time I puked up foam in my freaking mouth, but I didn't let them know. It's getting to the point that I feel like....physically ill everytime I go outside. I live in a wooden house, so I'm safe inside, but outside...Steel and iron are everywhere. I have burns on my hands and legs from touching it. There's a lot of other factors too. I'm a kelpie (Kelpies aren't just horses. Kelpies have a human form and a horse form, by the way.) and I constantly feel like I'm boiling because of the heat. Even though it's cold for the desert right now. There's a lot of other things too. I'm hurting being in the city, I'm hurting being around all the steel. I need to tell them just so they'll...I don't know, understand why I get so sick when we go out.
It's not a matter of 'oh, it would be nice for them to know' anymore. It's a matter of 'oh my god, I feel like I'm dying. They need to know so I don't really die.' And yes, there are times when I feel like I really AM dying. Like in cars. Cars are like, big iron coffins to me.

Guh. I guess there's nothing I can really do...
And your grandmother sounds AMAZING. xD

I think you may be right. No happy ending to this Fairy Tale.

if they believe in what you are, than i would go for it. if not...just dont..but as your parents they would want whats best for you right? you're always sick when you step out of the house. i think if they accepted you and know they would maybe let you move for your health.

Don't. If they're close to finding out themselves it might be better if you just let them.

i agree here with Sterling. my parents dont want to believe what i am and they see proof of it daily. so honestly with most people it doesnt matter how much proof you have...they're still going to believe what they want. :) just let them figure it out on their own. better for them to think *they're* crazy than for them to think that *you're* crazy! haha
