Title: Emerging from lurk-mode
Post by: Hyena on June 01, 2015, 01:04:00 AM
I've been a lurker for a little while now and finally figured I ought to just register and join in on the fun. I'm a 28 year old FTM truck driver who has identified as transgender for the last 7 years, though life's circumstances sent me back into a closet about 5 1/2 years ago. I'm at the point where I can't live like this anymore and have to move forward with my life, lest I continue to spiral into depression. I have 2 kids and a husband at home. Taking things day by day with my husband. He knows that on the road I happily live as a man and is supportive of this. I'm just trying to figure out how to continue my journey without losing him.

Hi Hyena, welcome to Susan's. It can be difficult balancing our families and transitions. I hope you find away that accomplishes that so you don't lose him. I look forward to seeing You around the forums. Good luck and Hugs.

Hey Hyena, Welcome to Susan's...

Well... officially you are not a lurker now  8)

The fact you have basis to work on is probably not bad, maybe a discussion on what he thinks you are about and maybe the future? And wholly agree with your opening comments.

Good luck with moving forward and hope you can find a way further forward.

Look forward to seeing you about the forums.

I'm very happy to have found this place recently and find it to be active! Life is so much easier to get through with a support system, even if they are people you e not met face to face.
