Hello everyone

[DaniWalker]

Hello All, Sorry ahead of time the post is random like me.......lol

This is just the beginning of my Story. I just started my HRT for the second time on June 25th, I had started it a few years back but ended up having other medical and financial complications that forced me to stop the first time. I unfortunately live with super uber Christian parents. My Father is a Pastors Kid, and my mother claims she okay with me transitioning but I can't be sure yet. I have a awesome wife who i have known since the 3rd grade, over 20years ago. She is supporting me through my transition. Anyway, I am constantly battling my depression and the fact that I feel that my work will fire me once they are aware that I am Transgendered.  I was born a male but have always felt that I was not in the right body. But due to my parents I was unable to express those feelings even to my Therapist at the time. (Mostly due to the fact that I could never get comfortable with one. My Mother kept taking me to a different therapist every couple of months) It wasn't until I got married for the first time and I moved out of my parents house that I was able to get a therapist that I was comfortable with and start the process to change my shell match my Ghost. I had to stop my HRT after about 6 months when my wife at that time threw all my Prescriptions away and kicked me out of the house, and burned all of my things. So I had to move back in with my parents. I then had to live as a Male again. Due to the fear of becoming homeless. I have 2 Beautiful kids and son and daughter. Both from different mothers. Due to the fact that I have to pay tons of money in child support my wife and I have to live with my parents. I finally told myself that I need to change my Shell or else. (I was starting to have really bad thoughts and I still do from time to time) So I got a good Primary and Endo Doc, and they started me on HRT again on June25th 2018. My mother already knows that I restarted my HRT along with my Cousin who of which I told this past weekend. I am slowly telling people that I am close with but I'm trying to work up the courage to tell my Dad and the rest of his family. My Cousin is on his side of the family but she is the "Mama Bear" Of the family and ensures me that she will get the family to come around when the time comes.

Dani,

Thank you for posting. I just recently came out to my wife and have not started HRT yet out of some of the same fears you had. I am working on overcoming those fears myself in hopes of becoming a happier and better person. I'm looking forward to following your progress. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Hey, welcome! I want to say that I read your post and listened to what you have to say.I think you are very brave for following your feelings.I just got out of a similar situation with telling my dad. Me and my step mom decided that it's all about the correct timing.I know it's hard to keep it in and I will tell you what my dad told me.He told me when I just come out and say things it's really like dropping a bomb on people.It is a lot to take in and I have to respect other people's feelings and give them space to accept it.He does not understand it but loves me unconditionally as his child.It was the scariest thing I had to face so far. I still have to tell my real mom and I am not sure how she will take it.People tell me.Hey your 26 who cares what they think.I suppose it's more of a courtesy and respect thing I learned from guess who? My dad lol.Do not be afraid to ask questions and seek answers.I accept you for who you are and your not alone with the struggle.I wish you luck and I hope things get better.
