So, I haven't posted an update about what's going on in my life in quite a while. Basically, in the past month, I have made gigantic strides in becoming myself. I had landed on a name, created a Facebook page, gone out dressed for the first time, and received my letter for hormones from my therapist. Now, I am teetering on the edge of a total life shift. I have told my wife that I intend to start hormones very soon. This whole ordeal has been very hard for her, as it has for me. I've contacted a lawyer, and we are moving forward with a divorce.  Luckily, neither one of us want to fight, so it should go smoothly and quickly.  In any event, I'm excited and very scared about the future. I promised her that I wouldn't start a physical transition until the divorce is final. It only seems fair, seeing as she is letting me keep the house.  I'm very terrified about the future, but I know this is the right path for me to take. Patience is the name of the game and has been all along. I'm just a very impatient person!!!  There are all these doubts in my mind about my hair, my body, my voice, etc. It's just really hard to stay positive when the world is being flipped upside down all around you. Anyway, I hope that things move on and get better quickly. I'd much rather be one of the girls on here who dispenses advice and comfort, as opposed to always seeking it!  Thank you, girls, for listening to me vent! <3

Congrats on all of the positive changes. It is too bad your marriage is ending, but at least you two are being civil about it. I hope all continues to go well for you.

So happy that you're able to move ahead, even it there are difficulties and a bit of fear.  I assume you'll start HRT very soon, so congratulations in advance.
