Hi everyone!
I'm Wistful Life. I'm a mom to 8 year old twins, married to my wonderful MTF. She is amazing, and honestly, the best part of my life. She wasn't really aware of that part of herself, hiding it and stuffing it down deep inside, and didn't realize what her thoughts meant until LONG into our marriage. Funny thing is, it took her seeing me be completely accepting of a close friend of ours come out with her choice to transition MTF before she came to terms with her own feelings and tell me what was going on inside of her.
So, that's a quick intro on me and why I am here. I have a few stumbling blocks that I am working through, and am hoping that by coming here, I can find the support I need to handle them.
Much love to you all!
Wistful Life

Ciao Wistful Life benvenuta a Susans. :)
Aww, thanks hun! I appreciate the warm welcome! Some sites don't seem to be very SO welcome, or have a tendency to only have SO's present that aren't pleased with the hand they have been dealt. It's nice to be somewhere that isn't the case. :)
Hello Wistful Life,
It is wonderful to meet you. I have a wife that doesn't accept me.
So I can understand the reluctance's in your mate.
We at Susan's really appreciate the SO that join.
There is even a SO forum where you can share with each other.
But please, feel free to share on any of the forums.
Welcome to Susan's.
Hugs,
Jillieann

Hi Wistful Life and welcome:) I am also a supportive spouse. My partner came out to me last November after 5 years together. We also have children ( four of them aged 2,5,8, and 10). Stumbling blocks aside (goodness knows I have encountered, and continue to encounter, some.), I have done my best to embrace my partner wholeheartedly. It is a beautiful thing watching her become the woman she is meant to be. Please feel free to lean on me for support as our situations seem similar. It is always nice to talk to someone going through the same myriad of emotions the transition of a spouse brings about. This group is really open to SO as well, which is not always the case. Not to mention, as you have said, how positive most the spouses are here, which is a huge breath of fresh air. I was starting to feel like a freak for being accepting of this is some of the other places I joined. That is why I try to get on here whenever the kiddos allow:)
