I've been living with my, now ex, wife for several months since I came out. I don't like and can't be the old me. She despises the new me in a biblical way. It has not been a fun place. I've balanced my transition so far to try to keep us both sane. I'm growing my hair out, painting my nails, wearing eye makeup and light foundation, using body sprays, shaving arms/legs/pits and just recently colored my hair. I wear women's jeans on a pretty regular basis and a few times added in nice tops for special events. As the Wanda has progressively climbed out of her genie bottle it has caused a bit of friction but, she ain't going back in this time
. So this week the ex finally got her financing together to buy my half of the house and set me FREEEEEE! I have my first laser on my face today. I see my gender doc for the first time on Tuesday. I can't start hormones until 2/9/16 due to HEP-C med study, ($94000 meds free in exchange, and I'm already virus free!), but I want to get established with her so I can start on that day. I move into a one bedroom apartment the 29th. I can sleep in panties and a nightshirt instead of ex friendly boy stuff. I can walk out of my home feeling completely like me! I am grateful though for the patience I have been forced to have to prepare me for this so I don't go crazy like I have done before. My friends tell me I am already gracefully embracing the classy mature Wanda I envision for myself. I hope and pray I can stay true to that now that the chains are off. Any advice and shared experience will be greatly appreciated at this point. I am thrilled, but a little nervous.
