Susan's Place Transgender Resources

It's been killing me not telling my parents, so tonight I gave my dad my letter and as he started reading it I started crying and then he asked why I was crying and I said I was scared that he wouldn't care about me and I said sorry and he hugged me and said don't be sorry. He told me it's okay and that it's my life and he can't live it! He told me that I have to do what I have to do and all he wants is for me to be okay and able to support myself. I was crying half an hour earlier, so scared and now I'm on top of the moon. I'm so happy. I can't wait for my mom to come home, so I can tell her to. I never thought he'd be so understanding. He told me that he wouldn't even think of having me leave or anything. I have no idea why I was so scared but he was pretty much perfect. :D I'm so happy right now, and I know that any and all confusion I've felt was from stress of coming out. I know more than ever right now that I'm not a boy. I'm a ->-bleeped-<-ing girl and my dad knows. :D

Thats awesome!  ;D

I know! I was terrified that he would react badly but I couldn't wait any longer. My sisters helped me and they were there for me. :D Ahhh I never felt better.

Great news Hun :-*

Now the job issue?
Hugs

Hi Andthenwekisss

Holy S..t, I'm totally flabbergasted at the response of your dad.  You could not get any better response than a hug from your dad. Which shows he cares for you very much.

Were your sisters present when you gave the letter to your dad and did your dad have any idea that you are a female?  It would be interesting to know.

You are racing through your change and it seems nothing is going to stop you from becoming who you want to be.  Take and all the best for the future.

Kind regards
Sarah B

Way to go! I'm so happy for you!  ;D

What a great dad.

yay!! Huge congrats girl!

I love it when parents react the proper way. Your post brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you.
With a suportive family transition is so much easier.

That is great!!! Congrats!!  :D

Congrats, hun!

That's wonderful. So happy for you.

You are an inspiration to every person who feels to be the wrong sex.  Congratulations.

Congrats!

omg you guys! you all make me feel so special haha! thank you!!! :D I never could've imagined my dad reacting this way, maybe my bestie was right. She said that since he accepted me being gay that this would be easier to accept. :P Maybe since I'm older too. I can't wait to tell my mom and now, I feel like I can tell my whole family! :D


@CindyJames my cousin is gonna try and get me hired at the pizza place she works at. I'm also going to stop by two places and ask about my application. :D

@Sarah B my sisters were there for me. I heard my dad say my mom might not come home for a few days and I started freaking out, not wanting to wait till she got home. I tried talking to my bestie but she was asleep so I was in my room and I called my sister in there and she calmed me down, I started crying when I started talking to her, and then I printed my letter and showed her and it was exactly what she told me to say. Then we got my younger sister and they went with me. My dad didn't say if he had any idea, but I kind of assume my parents knew/know.

And thanks you again to everyone else! I'm on cloud nine right now. I've never been so excited about something! I never thought this would happen. :D

Woohoo! Go Kimberly!

Thanks :D

Wonderful! Its always such a relief to have understanding friends and family. I'm so happy for you!

Hi Andthenwekiss

Thank you for the update it was appreciated, it's nice to hear how things are going.  You have the right attitude, you know what you want and are prepared for the consequences.

You are extremely lucky that you have as you say your bestie, your sisters, who will protect and support you with their 'lives' figuratively and of course now your dad as well.  As llilacwoman said, 'You are an inspiration to every person who feels to be the wrong sex", I also agree with whole heartedly.

Let us know, what, when and how your parents found out.  It would be an interesting story.  Your mum will find out soon, so have a little patience and hopefully she will accept you unconditionally as well.

I have to go as I have to go to work.  The joys of living, take care and thank you for telling us your story.

Kind regards
Sarah B

It is a great feeling isn't it? Congratulations and good luck with your mom!

Oh my god! Congratulations!!!! :D

I'm so glad things went great with your dad :D You deserve it hun, that and more!

You're a very nice person, you have a sparking attitude full of positive energy and, I'm pretty sure that it will come in handy for you in the future :)

I really, really hope things go great with your mom  ;) but, in case something goes wrong, at least you got your dad on your side :D

Good luck girl, and I hope the job hunting goes well!

Well it turns out my dad called my mom and talked to her. Right before he told her I guess he said not to drive off the road lmao! She's fine too! They told me not to rush into or be pressured into anything, which I will and won't. Not rush? No thanks! I've been a boy long enough! Haha

Good for you... glad it all worked out well. Having the parents aboard for the journey makes a huge difference. So well done you. :)

I'm SO glad for you ^_^ I was worried that they wouldn't take it well ^_^

Another Good News Story, Congratulations to both you and your family. :-*

 :) Yay for you Kimberly! :) Congrats! It's definitely a huge relief when parents and other people important to you can get behind your decision and stick by you through it!

Looks like you have the support you need, so full steam ahead!  :D

HUGS to little sister! <3

Thanks a million to my susans family, I love you all! :D

And I gotta wait till next week when my cousin is working again to go in and apply at the pizza place where she works at. :P

so now you have a week to got round your town and take note of every other pizza place to see what they are like, menus, specials, cleeanliness, so when you get the interview you can come across as knowledgeable and helpful etcetera.

I've been thinking about talking to her, but I'm not sure if I want to. It's always been weird talking to my parents. I know we'll end up having a big talk once they see how serious I am. I'm letting them get used to the idea first haha. Thanks for caring though :)

By the way, I want those sunglasses  ;D

haha aww I love them! I got them in santa cruz for like 7 bucks lol

I have a pair that I call my A-Lo glasses cuz I feel like a diva in them lmao

A-Lo?

Quote from: andthenwekisss on August 06, 2010, 01:59:41 PM
A-Lo?

I think she means as in JLo, but since she is April, ALo.

I see! I love it lol :P

Yep that's exactly what it means :) Here they are :)
