That is a very brave move, Q, and I hope that it will turn out for the best. When Jason and I came out to our families, it was amazing how well they took it. I guess you hear all these horror stories about families rejecting someone because they are gay and they only wanted to be honest with them. Yet, I do think that is a rare occurrence, and most people are very accepting.
I also know the double stress in coming out because you have met someone, as does Jason. You're afraid they might take it worse because it does mean that you are what you say you are, and that you're not simply wanting to "experiment" or something like that. It's all a scary and head spinning situation. But you obviously understand that it's better to be fully open to those you love, so that they can share in the love of everyone in your life.
I wish you the best, and hope you are so very pleasantly surprised by the outcome. *hugs*
