Well, I am a m2f, single parent and all around general mess.
I have been ts since I was little. Parents caught me the first time when I was 6 or 7 when mom thought I was sneaking Little Debbie snack cakes from the kitchen. Things didn't exactly go well, after all I could be fixed, right?
Fast forward 17 years (yeah, it's a blur for me too) and I am marrying someone I absolutely loved, who was understanding and supportive (she knew before we married). She was there with me when I came out to my parents for the 2nd time, not including the snack cake incident. Things went well that time... until the next morning. Apparently things like "We support you" and "We will always love you" etc... are mantras of the everyparent.
Here recently, 12 years later things come to a head again and now they're mad I don't "let them in" and am so secretive it's "creepy". Go figure.
The ex is still 100% behind me and guarantees that if I should lose custody of the kids, I will continue to have access to my kids without question.
Anyways, I have had the marching orders for HRT for a while now, and I have been trying to improve my situation with my parents, and living in a small town where I have been outed, among other things. And now I find out my therapist died just a few weeks ago. I'm not really sure if it has sunk in yet. She was an AMAZING person.
I know this may take a while before I understand exactly happened as far as my transition goes. I was aiming for this fall, when it becomes long sleeve weather again.
I dunno. Guess we will adapt and improvise and see just where this merry ride goes. ???
***Edit***
I keep re-reading this and, wellll, it's not my best intro. Word to the wise- Don't write about yourself when you can't sleep ;D
Anyways, I just want to thank everybody I have chatted with so far as well as the people who put their blood, sweat and tears into this website. Everybody has been amazing so far, and I love having people to talk to who share the same concerns I do.

You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see but you can't close your heart to the feelings you don't like...So keep strength and you'll find the serenity within the darkness.
