Title: my letter to my mom
Post by: preston j sannicolas on September 27, 2015, 05:43:17 PM
so i am writing a letter to to tell my mom that im trans and i kind of a bad writer so i was wondering if any one here could go over it and tell me what i should add
avah is my sister by the way

Dear mom
this is hard for me to tell you so i decided to write this letter.
So there are some people in this world who do not identify with the gender they were born with
I am one of those people .
I started to feel this way a few years ago maybe about three.I didn't know what it was at time i only found out that the word  trans really meant about two months ago.
I always thought that if you were trans then you knew that from a young age but after doing some research i realized that was false .
i remember when we lived in the trailer park i dressed in your clothes a few times i liked it but i stoped after you came home early and almost caught me.
throughout the years i have tried praying and wishing on stars and all that other junk that i would wake up a girl i know it was stupid but i just wanted it to happen so bad
i don't know what else to say i have never been good with words.
i guess what i'm trying to say is i'm sorry i'm like this.i know we haven't always gotten along and i know i haven't been the best son but i hope that in the future we can get along more and that you can accept me as your daughter
you can tell avah whenever you feel ready i don't think she would understand if i told her
we can talk more when i get home. love you
Love Preston

I'd ditch the bit about wearing her clothes. She might not like that. Personally I'd be pretty upset by it.

Wow! Good for you. It was sweet, short, and most assuredly came from the heart. You will face some challenges to be sure, but the hardest part is out of the way.
