Twirpo75 50 Posted March 30, 2015 First off, I'm so sorry. We have enough stress in our lives without people adding to it. When I started this process, I told everyone about it. I wanted people to know I was LOUD and PROUD that I was taking conrol of my life back. I have no shame. I will say that when my Fiance told some of his friends that I don't know, I was upset. Because then I had total strangers asking me about my journey. I understand your want and need for privacy. And I'm sorry that was violated. All you can do now is voice your hurt to those family members and from now on, keep your private stuff private. But don't be private because you are ashamed. Hold your head up high. You're a WARRIOR!! Congratulations on your journey!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicolenathe 5 Posted March 30, 2015 I would be pretty upset. I am at the very end of my pre surgery steps and will be having surgery within the month. I have not told anyone I'm my family or any of my friends. The only people that know are me, my husband, and my doctors. I'm just trying to avoid all the negative comments and rude remarks.
