Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hello,

OK, well... this is my first time writing something about myself on a forum. This is a little scary :'( and a little exciting :) all at the same time!

I'm 42, have a very loving beautiful wife whom I've been marry to for 18yrs and 23 all together, have three wonderful kids my youngest is 15. I have a successful job.

MY STORY

I was adopted at birth and never meet my birth parents. Was a single child, your normal little boy doing normal boy things. even after my parents divorced. I think I was about 7 when that happened. I think things started to change after my mom got remarried and we moved into my step dad's house at the age of 12. My step brother did NOT like me. My step sister was much older and was moved out by then, she was nice.  I did a good job not letting people in or get to close. My interests were a little different than all my friends but they didn't know that. Sorry getting carried away here. I knew I liked women's clothes and getting dressed up. I even bought my own as I got older. So wearing women's close was as far as that went. Till I met my wife who I told her everything about me, even all my dreams, before we got together of course. To my amaze this did not scare here off. I didn't realize for 13 yrs. she had been chipping away at these walls I had put up, to get to know the feminine girl inside me. This was exactly what was needed. Three years ago little by little I was introduced to makeup, hair, skin products and lingerie. LOVE these things :D! Then we had to have a name, Yay  so Samantha Rae was born :D I was so excited when that happened! Maybe a year later MY LOVE asked me THE question and ask ME to marry her. I couldn't believe it! The thought of getting all made up and in a beautiful white wedding dress sounds AMAZING! So that meant I need to look my best, I was on a mission now to grow breast. So I started herbs, massage and a lot of passion for them. My baby was ok with this. I was loving the way my breast where feeling and growing! Month 5 came and I decided to stop doing my routine, trust me inside I didn't want to stop. I did it because I love my wife and I didn't wan't our love life to suffer and it was. I hope to start back up at some point, but not sure at this time. I have a lot to be thankful for. Life is good! There is part of me though that wants to see myself as a complete women. I'm not sure how my kids would react to that and that is the scary part. So that's my story, thanks for letting me share it with you all.

HOW I CAME TO JOIN THE FAMILY   
     
Well I had been here before and read posts, but never had the courage to write anything. I finely after a year needed to talk to someone who knew how I was feeling and could relate in some way. I'm sure this is a beautiful family and I can't wait to get to know you all!  :D

Thank you everyone who responded to my post. I'm very sorry it took so long to respond back. I do appreciate you all.

Hello everyone, this is Samantha's fiancee. She is very excited to have your support and encouragement..we both are. It has been an amazingly beautiful experience watching my baby girl discover herself. It has been just the two of us trying to navigate this very complex transition and luckily it has gone relatively smoothly. There are soo many things to learn! We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you, Monica
