Is this really happening?

[Monica Jean]

Thank you Liz, this fire is the worst of it? Sounds like it gets better once this is dealt with?

Just read your message again Liz,  I find comfort in it,  which I truly appreciate it this rough time.

Hugs Michelle,

I doubt your wife will ever come around. I had a thought the other night, If I transition I lose my wife and son, if I don't the stress or something else will kill me and I still lose my wife and son - and more, all hope and a future. We will be accused of being selfish but we need to choose life.

Big Hug!

Thank you all for your support, it means very much to me, especially in this trying time.

There are good things that are happening as well. Such as, I went to scratch my back and noticed how much smoother and my back feels now, the skin is silky soft. That alone put a huge smile on my face knowing there is progress in the proper direction.

These may seem like little things to people who have already transitioned long ago, but these little milestones little walking through them.

Its been almost 3 weeks without talking my mom, talk with her today. I left a message last week, she never called back.

We talked about everything but the 800 pound elephant in the room, that's how my family dealt with things, by burying them and acting like they don't exist. I asked her if she had any comments toward that, "not today".

Which most likely means, not this year.
On the positive side, at least she's is talking to me. I'm sure we will all facetime tomorrow to catch up, that will be nice.

Who knows how Christmas will go, will find out if I'm even allowed to see my in laws. Such is life.
