I reunited with my parents

[Alexis]

I reunited with my parents and looks like we are going to work things out.I came out in 1998 to them and they disowned me on the spot.Told me to get out of their house and not to come back.That hurt me very bad and this was 15 years ago and I was 19 at the time.They remember me as the son,did call me Alexis and we hugged.My parents and I credit my sister Liz for it,Liz told them I am finally happy living as a woman.It was 2 weeks ago they had the change of heart and recieved a phone call from them.They said I am a very beautiful woman now.My parents and I have an appointment with a therapist on Monday and my sister will be there too.My parents felt very guilty disowning me and it will take time,one step a time.I am going to sleep well at night now and have to make up for lost time also.Good thing is I will forgive them sometime when it comes time.The therapist we are seeing deals with transgendered issues and was highly recomended by a good friend of mine.

I am very happy for you!

My parents did a lot of thinking get advice.They are religous and their pastor led them to the right way.Pastor said my parents were judging me in a very bad way and they took his advice.Their pastor has a daughter that is a post op transsexual,it was her also that made them have a heart of change.It was a song too and it made my parents tear up a little and I am not giving up hope for them

Congratulations Alexis. It's definitely time to celebrate. I'd really give your sister a lot of credit for this. Being disowned for 15 years is a lot of time a part from each other, and I'm sure that gap will be quickly closed up by the love that our parents will have for you. A friend was telling me the other day that sometimes you have to break the ties bewteen you , but you can never sever the love.
