Who has moved away and why, after coming out as trans?

Mom: "either he goes or I go"
Dad: "son you have to go"

and I was thrown out...I was 13 years old....

I understand what that feels like but I was 24. The conversation was about SRS

Me : I HAVE to go - I have been suicidal for years!
Mom: It would be better if you killed yourself.

I went and got disowned.

My mom was the one who lost the most. I did well for myself and became the kind of daughter she could have been EVER so proud of. Instead, she never knew me.

That how I feel. Once I go my family will have lost the most. Don't think I'll come back, because, who will come back? It will be a female that none of my family will even know. But that is something that my family doesn't understand.

Wow you all make me feel lucky. I moved because I met my gf online, she came and stayed with me for a while, then I moved 3 states over to be with her. I had two duffel bags and a bus ticket, one way, heh. Best decision of my life. Thanks to her I was able to discover my gender and be myself. Before her, everyone else I was with told me they wouldn't accept me. So yes, I moved far away, but not because I needed to escape my family. Actually my dad, aunt, and grandma are all very supportive. My mom is hurt but she doesn't want to lose me. m not sure how she'll take me being on hormones, but i know everyone else won't care.

I picked up and moved to California to start transitioning once my partner of three years left me once I made the decision....I thought it would be a more accepting place than Ohio and I was basically homeless anyway.  I moved in with a sympathetic friend and fellow drug addict.  She helped me get started on HRT and we spent most of a year watching me change having adventures and getting high or tripping almost daily.  Her life started falling apart...and mine too.  LA county was actually more hostile toward my gender identity in the almost year I spent there on HRT than the two years prior I spent crossdressing full time in rural Ohio.

Needless to say it wasn't the best idea.  I did help my friend through a lot of her childhood abuse and rape traumas, and in return she helped me afford hrt, but in many ways we weren't good for each other.  I left California after things started getting bad...I made a lot of enemies wandering the streets of Lancaster high on dope and sticking my nose where it didn't belong and playing vigilante.

I moved to rural Oklahoma with a broken rib and a broken spirit to work as a farmhand for room and board....

I have grown a lot in the year since...I fell in love with the farmer's daughter, am in a loving committed relationship for the first time in my life, and she will be giving birth to our child in september.  I still do drugs and drink occasionally, but very very infrequently.  I've started eating again and work on the farm....I imagine I will be here the rest of my life, and I and my partner will one day inherit these nineteen acres to raise our child on and eventually hand it down to the next generation.

So, first move.....probably a bad idea in hindsight......but the second was the best decision of my life and it wouldn't have occurred without the first, so.....no regrets
