Hello Adam and welcome. I'm new to this place myself. (And to transgendered boards as well) I read what you wrote, sadly I can't help in certain areas because I'm new myself but I'm very sorry your parents are treating you that way, I know it can hurt, really hurt but hang in there. Also this is up to you but for what you said here "because my parents know but don't really accept me, which is really hurtful because when I was little my mom always said she'd love me no matter what, and I kind of feel like she's going back on that." If I were you I'd tell her/them exactly what you said there and let her/them know exactly how you feel and how much it hurts. I dunno if it'll make things better or not but it might be good if you told her/them exactly how you feel. Really just like you they too are having a hard time with this, I'm sure it's a shock to them and they may not know how to handle it, so it might not be that they're not accepting you but don't know how to handle it. I dunno the sitch except what you told me so sorry if I'm mistaken here but I hope I'm not. Whatever the case may be, hang in there. Oh and no you didn't sound like a lawyer to me. 🙂 I'm sure you can make some friends here and I hope to see you around. Also, if you've got questions and need to get something off your chest then go right ahead. Holding it in will only make it worse.
