Explain how you feel to them in detail and ask them to be supportive. You are probably scared and sad about how you feel and want all the support you can get. And if they can't accept you for being yourself there are hundreds of others who will accept you.

It depends? if they knew, would you feel safe? ask yourself what is the worst that could happen. then ask yourself if thats what they would really do. all in all, it's up to you when and how you break the news. if you feel you will be safe in your home, then consider a note, if you want to talk to them face to face, consider sitting them around the dinner table. even if they dont accept you at first, their rejection might just mask confusion. they'll come around, you got this!
