Coming out to my children

Last night, I did was I would consider to be the hardest and scariest part of my transition, I came out to my two daughters. This was something I have been wanting to do, and something I have been not wanting to do. No matter how much I want to be me, I am also very protective of my daughters. I wanted to shield them from any pain that could come from my transition. Was this ever a possibility? I kind of doubt it. Protecting them from any pain that could result from my transition would mean not transitioning at all. Not transitioning would cause them pain because of what it would do to me.

Hi Kathryn,
Funny but yesterday my wife and I told our children what my feelings are. That I feel like a woman and want to become a woman. We have two daughters and a son. They ar all grown up but still they are our children. It was the most hardest talk we had. They understood what I meant. This evening I have to call them to ask how they are. They are for me the greatest people.
Bye bye,
Wil
