My Mom wants me to dress up

[BlaineGame]

Well, do you have anything sorta nice? A button down shirt and a tie, maybe? (As opposed to confronting them looking "slouchy".) What were you planning on wearing on Thanksgiving?

I have been thinking about bringing a family member to therapy with me. But my mom and sister aren't talking to me. My dad did call and said he wants to talk, so maybe he'll come...

I think it would be cool if your dad went with you I'm sorry your mom and sister won't talk to you I shouldn't be complaining about this, I should be thankful that my parents even accept me.

I found some dressy, masculine black pants to wear and I'm going to wear a button down shirt with it!

Nice! Do you have a tie? If not, they're only a few bucks at thrift stores. You might feel really cool in a tie.

As for complaining, or whatever... We ALL have a serious struggle going on here. For some, its an internal thing. Questioning who they are and doubting, doubting, doubting. For some, its not being able to "pass" or go to work as their prefered gender. For some, its their family/friends. Everyone's struggle is REAL. And they are all the SAME as far as stress levels. I don't sit here and compare.

Good luck on Turkey Day!
