Yesterday I had my 1st year HRT anniversary, originally I planned to have a Birthday and Happily Divorced Party but due to the ongoing issues around custody and divorce agreement I canceled it.
Last year when I received my first prescription I would have never imagined where my path would lead me.
I'm now de facto single parenting while still operation my business, renovating the house after my wife finally moved out and taking care of my elderly mother.
This is also the reason that I'm most of the time in lurker mode on this forum, I'm reading a few post before falling asleep.
Transition-wise I'm so happy that I can live openly at home, fully accepted by my daughter.
She says, that she does like Thessa much more than <Deadname>. :D
I recently reach an A cup and beginning of next year I have the necessary appointments to get GCS covered by insurance. Let's see how long the waiting list will be...
Still for most of my public life (living on the country side) and especially while doing business I still have to switch back to guy mode, which is getting harder from day to day and I'm not sure if I can stick to my original plans. My therapist told me the last time - with a smile on her face - that she would not bet on me sticking to my transition plan.
Recently I had some encounters in girl mode and I became more confident while interacting with strangers.
For the second year of my new life, I plan to finally get divorced, remove the remaining (white and gray) parts of my beard, have a nice summer vacation with my daughter presenting all or most of the time female. Maybe before that I should get a little bit better on doing my makeup. ;)
Somedays I still see a guy in the mirror and the next I'm amazed how my face and also my body changed over the last 12 months. So I'm looking forward what the next 12 months will do to my mind, body and soul and how this will influence my path...
Cheers, Thessa
Congratulations.
Congratulations on one year of HRT. Sorry that you have been through some of things you have been. So glad your daughter is supportive though. Hugs

Thank you for you congratulations!
I'm so glad too, I don't know how I would have lived trough the last year without the support of my daughter, my older sister and a bunch of friends. 😊
