Title: A couple months ago i came out to my parents and didnt take it back
Post by: koreanmochi on June 20, 2017, 04:26:42 PM
A couple maybe more like 4  months ago I came out to my parents as FTM and didnt take any of it back when they got mean. my husband too. After dealing with both my parents and therapist telling me my feeling werent real and i was to unstable to ever know how i felt. I told my parents wouldn't act on them, fast forward to a couple months ago i attempted suicide and my parents still act like my gender dysphoria isnt real and i am sad and i wish my parents loved me and accepted me the way they do my gay aunts

If you don't mind me asking? How did you go about it? Were you really abrasive about it in anyway?


I haven't come out to my family yet, but when I do I am planning on explaining to them as a disclaimer that I know they are not going to "understand" and I don't expect them to, and also that I understand I will always be their daughter / granddaughter and that's honestly fine with me.

I am trying to transition in a smooth way, and I don't want the fact that I'm DFB to just disappear and go away for ever.

Obviously I don't know the entire situation or how it was done, but I was just curious.

Also...You gotta get yourself a new therapist, dude.
