TW homophobic family . . . .

So my family used to be really close but when I came out as gay, there was a big blow up. My grandma and uncle just exploded. My grandfather did apologize and, unfortunately, was kinda caught in the middle. He didn't want me to be hurt but he also had to keep the peace with my grandma so that she wouldn't make things difficult for him, which she often does when he doesn't let her have her way. He's the only one that didn't yell at me, shake/slam his fist at me, or treat me horribly. He's the only one who apologized for if he had done anything that hurt me.

Here's the thing, he's getting up there in age and he has heart problems. So my mom, brother, and I have decided to go have Christmas with them again even though my grandma and uncle haven't apologized or acknowledged what they did. Even within an hour of it happening, they were wanting to act like it hadn't happened. I'm really nervous and afraid of another blow up, especially since they don't know I'm under the trans umbrella. But I'm going to do it for my grandfather. He's genuinely a lovely person and loves me dearly. Just seeing him isn't an option because, again, my grandma would be upset and make things difficult for him.

I guess I'm making a request for cards of support and encouragement, specifically of an LGBTQIA nature. I'm gay/lesbian and genderfluid, pronouns are she/they. Christmas cards or regular cards, whatever is fine 😊
