I'm answering for a family member -
One of my sisters was so afraid to tell anyone in our family, especially because we didnt' even know she had a boyfriend at college, and he is of a different race.
She told her twin (couldn't hide it from her). When one of us others found out about it, another sister and I drove over to meet the twins right away to offer our support and get it all out in the open. Then as the oldest, I took charge, as she wanted to tell our parents but was afraid. I called a family meeting,a nd we all drove home to our parents. We four sat on a couch and held hands while I broke the news.
If there is ANYONE you can tell, please do it! A friend, a family member - someone. You might be surprised where the support will come from, and no one should have to bear that alone. Even though you may have decisions to make that are yours alone, it will help to have someone just to talk to!
