BDSM/Comming out to family

Question
Hi
i have a real problem here, at least in my eyes. i've been a slave for over a year now and that's not the issue at all. the part that i have a problem with is that my Master wants me to tell my family that i'm His and that i'm His submissive.

i have no clue how to go about this though.

i'm 22 years old, never lived outside of the house except to go to college. i'm very close to my parents and i tell them everything, except that i'm a slave to my Master. He's older than me and lives in another state and because of this He doesn't live with me unfortunately. it started out as an online relationship and has moved to a real life one that i have no intention of breaking.

my family is a middle-class old school sorta family. They first don't agree with me loving a guy that i met online. 2nd they don't agree with me loving a guy that's not in my state. 3rd they wouldn't agree with me deciding i want to move in with Him after i graduate from school.

Master's not pushing the issue right now because i'm in school and have other priorities but as soon as i graduate and become His fully with nothing to distract me, He wants me to tell my family about U/us. i have no idea how to go about this though. They are so closed minded that it's actually scary to even think about telling them. They won't hit/hurt me or anything but it just won't go over well.

Any advice on how to break the ice and give them the information without getting my head bitten off or disowned by them?

Thank you very much
jessica

Hello

Thank you for the question it is a hard one.  I know that my family is all Baptist and from the mid-west, so telling them some things they just will not accept. And out of Respect to my parents they do not know all the details of what I live, my brothers do and they might not like it but they are not judging me.  My parents just would not understand it all, so I will not push it on them.  I try to just leave them out of some of the information.  I know there are parts that they have that they just are not happy with and why should I make it harder for them?  

They keep getting more and more information just a little at a time, and some day they might have it all.  But I am never going to just hurt them and upset them totally.  I have a great relationship with them, they know our home is different, but they do not ask.

I understand your Masters request but I do not always believe that jsut coming all the way out on every aspect is a good thing.  When they see I am happy the kids are happy and that we get along how ever it maybe, that is what matters in the end.  I see no reason to throw it in their face and we live an honest home.  I use Sir in-front of my parents and when they ask about it, Sir just told them that we wanted to live what we wanted out children to live as well.  Respect to all and that there is a place for every person.  In some ways my Mom was very happy, she just does not know it has a name.  The stereo type of the lifestyle would send her running to the preacher I am sure.

But it is each to their own, talk wit your Master and see where you need to go with your lives and do some in all respect to him as well your parents.

Best of luck and I hope I have been at least a very little help to you.  Good luck, and please take it slow. You know best what and how your parents think on things.
