I (26, bi enby) am finally going to be in a place where I can come out with little consequence. I'm moving out of state, more than 2000 miles away from my parents, who are the people I see the most, and who are also (especially my dad) conservative Christian and homophobes.

When I do move out, I do want to give them a notice that, hey, I'm bi and nonbinary. However, I'm, understandably hopefully, kinda nervous. As mentioned, they are the people I see the most. I currently don't have any friends, neither where I am currently nor the city I'm moving to, though I have joined a couple online groups to, hopefully, meet some soon.

I'm not the most excited about telling them in person. I get flustered and my words get jumbled when I'm nervous, or I feel like I'm defending myself. It would just go badly, even if I were to prep what I say. Phone call would be better, at least I could hang up, but still. I'm thinking of shooting them a text or whatever, since I'm better at writing down words, rather than speaking them, but I know they would think this is a cop out and may think I'm faking or exaggerating things if I send it via text.

For those of you who were raised religious and also came out, how did you do it? Obviously, I will need to make my coming out my own, but some guidance will be nice.
