Hi Natalie,
I discovered my true gender identity in Sept. I'm realizing many things. One of them is that I was a provider. I sheltered, held, stood by and took care of my family. I was always there for them. Once I realized who I was I wanted to express her and try to be happy. My family left me. The next few days were measured in moments. Every minute that went by and I hadn't killed myself was a victory. Since then I've found friends and my visits to the darkness are less frequent. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
