How My Kids Make Me Whole And Then Some
Meggan Sommerville, September 15, 2013 9:00 pm

The last several years have been some of the most enlightening years of my life.  When I finally learned to take off the mask, I learned a lot about myself.  I learned what makes me complete, what makes me whole.

I've learned that I have to be myself no matter the consequences. I have learned to speak up when I see issues that affect me.  I have learned that I must have faith in the plan God has for me.  I have learned to embrace the gifts God has given me.

Even though I struggled with Gender Dysphoria for nearly my entire life, in 1994 I got married - as a man.   Two absolutely wonderful kids were the product from that sometimes extremely dysfunctional marriage.  Though I want to regret that decision to marry all those years ago, I can't.  The caveat is that if I regret that decision, then I regret those kids.  And that is something I could never do.  I could never regret those wonderful, goofy kids.
