I came out to my daughters. It was a lot easier than my wife (that was the huge reveal event) but I was still very stressed. Unbelievably they weren't really that stunned .. a little shocked maybe.
It's a generational thing I guess. My younger daughter actually guessed before I could tell her. They were much more eager to delve into my past and present immediately then my wife was. I had promised that I would not discuss anything with them that I had not yet talked to my wife about but we still covered a lot of history and many things fell into place for them. It was a relief, a release of sorts .. the endless secrets of life kind of melting away.
I have started getting electrolysis. I can't believe how joyous it makes me to get rid of the hair on my face .. didn't realize how much I hated it. I even look forward to going for the pain.
Not sure where exactly I'm going or how to get there but I feel better and more positive then in a long time.

All the best,
Kath

Congrats on THE most difficult thing in the world. I was a total chicken about it. My family found out through the grapevine.

That's great!! congrats, it is so hard for a parent to come out to their children I had the hardest time telling my little boy's,  I wish you all the best on your journey.

I am happy for you Kath!
Yes, it had to be a relief to come out to your children and that they also understand and care enough to ask questions. I hope they give you all the love and support they can and that you need.
Hugs,    Stanna

Way to go Kath!  Yes, I experienced similar feelings of profound relief by coming out, accepting myself and giving up the man act.  My two adult children were not really surprised and my wife has known for 30+ years.  I agree with you too about the generational thing as young people seem far better at assimilating our changes into their vocabulary and lifestyle.

You're a smart girl to recognize your future may be in flux while you ride some euphoria and become free to be yourself.  Seems you do know plenty and getting rid of our facial hair is a great place to be.  Thanks for sharing.
