Title: Outed by my brother in law
Post by: Chloevixen on May 31, 2014, 07:33:19 PM
Well this past week has been so crazy that its sad.
I had to deal with moving my houseboat down to Atlanta, setting up a shipper, finding a slip, getting a hull survey.  It was enough to pull my hair out.
On top of that fighting with my mom trying to adjust with living with her after 13 years.
Well when I finally get the boat in the water with nearly everything going wrong, I get to my slip (where the boat stays)
I am tied up right across from my brother in law I start meeting my new neighbors who promptly greet me as Chloe I just stopped and stared kinda stuttered a little bit before I replied.  Not only are the three people around me comfortable but have really made me feel welcome there. 
On top of that I now have enough work to survive the year very comfortably.  Its welding and salvage work, the owner of the yard has made it clear that any one who has a problem with me working on their boat is welcome to leave immediately and not return.   The last two days have been good on the water and I really love hearing the correct pronoun.
Well I hope everyone can have as nice of a weekend as I have had.

Thank you soo much,  It was really nice to meet people who I am not related to that were completely accepting.
