So I've wanted to come out as transgender to my parents for a while now. However, lately there's been some drama there... My sister is thinking about getting divorced, her husband won't let her see the kids, my brother has drunkenly threatened this man, etc. All of this seems to be getting to my mother, says my sister. There's even rumors about her going back to the bottle after 5-6 years sober. I'd hate to be the straw...

Its very difficult to weigh my own needs and wants with the respect and care I have for my loved ones. Has anyone had any experience or recommendations with coming out in an already chaotic family situation?
