Ok, bit of a problem I'm stuck in here. Trying to explain exactally what I am to someone I love without sounding like a looney! I've tried explaining before we even got into anything of that nature. I really just can't put it into words, I've never had to so I don't know what to say. Any advice? Thanks.

Well my first advice would be extreme caution. There is a reason that we tend to not let others know about our true nature. However, if you are confident that it won't freak her out & make her act like a loon or act against you. I would sit her down when you can have a good chunk of personal time together without getting interrupted. Try explaining it to her in the most basic way in the beginning - the details are too hard to absorb all at once. he** it was tough for us going through our awakenings & we were the ones experiencing the crap! If she is still having trouble grasping the concept perhaps she could sit it with you & a donor during a feeding?  |

See, that's been another problem, finding the time to tell her. The only "alone time" we have is when we're riding around. The last time I talked to her about it she said she just doesn't know if it'll hurt and she doesn't want to be scared. (Keep in mind I've already sworn with everything I have that I won't hurt this girl.)
I'll see how simple I can keep it today, when I go see her. Thank you Laurasia.

I agree with Laurasia. If you haven't been able to have time, you have to make time somewhere. It is a very serious trust issue, and needs more than 10 minutes here and there dedicated to it. You guys need to have a lengthy conversation, where she can ask you whatever questions she needs. That way she should understand a little better.  |

I have to agree with Amanda and Laur in taking the time to explain properly .
I'd suggest talking about it in general , other people , tv programmes first and check the reaction . Then even slowly introduce facts bit by bit so its not a total shock .

Why don't you share about what you know about Sanguinarians and psys and dont' tell her you are one. See how she responds to that. If she seems ok about it then tell her.

Well after many talks, her reading the different threads, and her ending up at VRoD, I think its just a matter of her getting up the willpower to let me show her. She's fine with psi feeding, but I think the thought of another cut gets to her because she used to cut herself. Here and lately, everything has been a matter of finding the right place and right time. |

Yes blood kinda makes me feel like throwing up too. I had a hard time watching the Passion of Christ. It was pretty bloody. Couldnt' even eat my pop corn. It was not a pop corn movie. I am sure some hungry vampires would have enjoyed the pop corn and felt pretty thirsty watching the movie. lol lol

She didn't join and it's probably for the best that she didn't. Don't want her mom freaking out because she's "getting into all this stuff since she met me" ya know?
