Title: Parent discovering personal info
Post by: KlevrKaeioua on January 13, 2016, 10:32:48 PM
Greetings all,

I am curious if anyone has any experience or recommendations in a situation where a person is trying to avoid having one or more parents discover anything about them post-transition.

The situation is unpleasant to say the least, and had i not have removed myself from the situation when i did, it was likely to become much more severe.  It has been quite a number of years now that i cut all ties to all humans i knew then, and previously, just to avoid getting hurt any more.

I have slipped under the radar well enough that on only a few occasions, have i even been found by the primary parent.

Nonetheless, i am concerned that post-transition, anything, my new name, my birth certificate, anything as such could allow them to learn something about me.  I wish that they could never even know my name.  Is this possible to prevent to any extent?

I assume they possess some method to access my currently unchanged birth certificate, and i can only assume they have my current SSN still copied down.  Other than that, i cannot imagine any other records/data they have to work with.

Any advice on something like that?

Much thanks!  <3
