Default Re: how to come out of the closet to your family

Include a bit of backstory. Whether it's something good or bad that I'm breaking to my family, I will sort of lead up to it. By the time I finally get to the point, they usually know what I'm going to say or at least it isn't too big of a surprise.

Example:
Last night, I was telling them about how my manager had selected me to go to Chicago for work. I led up to it by telling them the situation with the Chicago building and detailing the work that needed to be done, which is exactly what I do.
