Hi All,
I hope I am doing this right (posting operation) Yes you read that right I have been visiting this site since 1996. This was shortly after I finally had a name (M to F) Transgender to explain how I had been feeling basically all my life. This was all thanks to this wonderful new thing called the internet and it led me right to Susan's Place.
Learning that this was what I am was a shock to me to say the least. I come from a small town in Canada and it was shortly after the birth of our first child. I kept this secret to my self for many years just suffering in silence. In fact my life paralleled Susan's in many ways I'm just a couple years older. In the next seven years we had two more children and still I kept fighting to keep it at bay. Finally 10 years ago I broke down and confessed to my wife. It did not go well and we agreed to never speak of it again. The next ten years were pure hell, don't get me wrong I have a wonderful family and a great home life but still I was left with the daily turmoil of my situation.
Fast forward 10 years and I am doing things I never dreamed of. I came out to my wife for a second time, kids still don't know and have been seeing a counselor and gender specialist for a year and have been on HRT for 9 months and I feel fantastic! My wife is putting up with it with a lot of resistance and not necessarily accepting it but hasn't left me so that's where I am at today. Sorry for the long post and nice to finally meet you all.
