Hi everyone,
I am Davina,
For most almost all my life i have known i was a girl/woman. For most of that i did not know what to do about it. However later in life i learnt more about being transgendered and realised i was a MTF transsexual.
It is one thing knowing you are transsexual and its completely another thing knowing what to do about it. That was me. I have tried to transition a couple of times in my life and have always backed out. Especially the last attempt.
I am married and we are both unhappily married to each other. But we have 2 young children. It was this reason that i never went through with the transition previously and just hid away from my Dysphoria for a few more years thinking i would be Ok and could fight it.
Well i couldnt. I now want to transition more than ever as i had been left depressed about life and had little self esteem. Since i have made a commitment to go through with my transition, my life has turned around for the good. Health wise and in life generally. Besides that i am meeting the ENDO soon to start HRT. I cant wait. This time i also have a great therapist who is so supportive.
I have not come out yet to anyone, including my wife and dont plan to do so until 6 months on HRT. In the meantime i am moving ahead and preparing myself for womanhood.
Love Davina

Hey Davina!
Welcome to Susan's :) Great to have you here - looking forward to seeing you around the forum.
How you come out to your wife is of course completely up to you. I will say though that based on numerous stories told by other members, telling a spouse after you've started HRT can often intensify the fall out. Maybe have a chat a with your counsellor.
Please check out the following links for general site info...

Welcome, Davina,
I can imagine that your life improved once you finally decided to move forward. Hanging in limbo is so difficult.
It's your decision, of course, but not telling your wife until you're six months into things gives me the heebie-jeebies. But you know best what's going on.
Enjoy yourself here. And enjoy your journey!
