It sounds like they took it pretty well. I guess it's hard for parents to accept that their, husband-wife-2.5 kids and a golden retriever, aspiration of happiness for their children won't happen. But I think they will come to realize that if your happiness takes a slightly different direction that's all they could wish for you. I think they will. Anyway it must be a huge relief for you to finally get it "out". Best of luck. :7
