Congrats!  I'm glad she exceeded your expectations and now you don't have to stress about it anymore!  Yay!  :-)

Thanks Jess for all your help.

VN Skye, glad to hear it.

I need to ask you something:  How do feel now about suicide?  Are you glad you didn't?  Is there anything to be learned here?

I don't know how I feel about suicide now, I'm conflicted still. Yeah I'm glad I didn't end up overdosing (I was close to attempting).

I pretty much learned not to trust my overly analytical mind 100% of the time. I'm starting to ask myself the question "is this really the case, or is it just more likely that my mind is over thinking". In general I'm looking at things in new ways.

Now, if only my parents weren't douchebags my life would be pretty good right now.

First of all, congrats on your approval!

Secondly, as I have said over and over again, suicide is not the answer.  You're glad that you never overdosed after the fact, please remember that will always be the case.  So, the best solution is to never actually attempt it ever again. 

Third, parents can be tough.  As you may have seen, my family has given me a lot of grief and it hurts.  However, remember that they are your family and that with effort on both sides, that much can be overcome.  Don't give up on them.  Try to understand their behavior even when you want to smack them.  That's what helps me.  Personally, that is the only way things started to improve a little bit.  I emphasize a little bit,lol.

At this point I'm done with my mother. My dad is still ignorant sometimes but he's trying.

I've tried with my mom, and it has gotten a bit better. But I'm almost 100% sure she'll never treat me as female or stop using my birth name.

If I could I would leave this crappy town and my parents far behind in a heartbeat.

Hello Skye. I'm Shana-chan. I've read this entire thread, seen a few of your posts else where and you seem like a very nice person. I hope to get to see you around and btw, I may not know you but I SURE AM GLAD you didn't kill yourself. Hurting yourself or worse killing yourself is never the answer, no matter HOW BAD things are/get so please don't ever do it. Oh and congrats on how it all went. I'm happy for you.
