Why am I optimistic ? It hurts more when you're optimistic and bad things happen...

My teacher called my mom to talk with her about all this. And once again, he was calm and cool, and she was angry and stressed... And once again she started crying and shouting when we talked together. And she stills says shouts that I'm mentally ill, and that she would never let me go into transition... She also said "If only I had a real son, a real boy, that would be a bit more ignorant". I shouted that in fact all she wanted is a son like all the "normal" guys and that she wanted her children to be what she wants and not what they want. I ran away crying, and I saw that she had the biggest sadness I have ever seen in the eyes of somebody and she said me "All I got after nursing you is that ? Do all yourself now, and I'll never agree with you." ...

After that, while we were eating, my dad tried to begin speaking about this. He was super calm and cool, the exact opposite of my mom. He finally said that we will start searching for a therapist next week after I said that I didn't feel good in my body. While we talked, my mom didn't eat much and always looked elsewhere, like if I was an abomination, with tears in the eyes, and sometimes shouting something like "you find it normal to have a son that want to be a daughter ?" ...

In brief, if things don't go worth than they are, I'll start therapy soon. But I think I'll can start therapy, but when I'll be an adult and when I'll don't have to obey my mom...

Being optimistic is good. Let me explain why: being a pessimist hurts well before anything has happened. It can even restrain you from doing anything.
Et sinon, où habites-tu donc ?
This is ok, I guess.

You know what my takeaway from this is? You have a supportive parent and you'll soon begin therapy. There's your silver lining; hold tight onto it. Positivity and optimism.

Congrats, girl. It's going to be fine. Thank goodness for your father.

Yeah I hope things will be nice now.
But being rejected by my mom hurts a lot...

A mother typically has romanticized ideas about her son's future. It's not her fault she thought you were a boy. Of course, it's not your fault either.

Give her time. She'll come around, especially as she gets to know the real you. Hang in there.

Stay strong,
Teg

au moins ici il y a une transfemme curieuse... merci! 

Give you mom time... you know, I occasionally go to a transgirl therapy group.  It's sometimes insightful and sometimes not.  But we were talking about coming out to family, and you find everthing from confusion to anger to sadness to mourning, and then in most cases some type of acceptance.   

As much as you are making mental and psychological progress, this also is necessary for your family.   They will get there.

It sure feels good. I've added 2 new friends this past week. All have been very supportive & appreciate I chose them to be friends & share life.
mtF, mid 50's, always a girl since childhood, HRT (Spiro, E & Fin.) since 8-13. Hormone levels are t at 12 & estrogen at 186. Face lift & eye lid surgery in 2014. Abdominoplasty/tummy tuck & some facial surgery May, 2015. Life is good for me. Love long nails & handsome men! Hopeful for my GRS & a nice normal depth vagina maybe by late summer. 5' 8", 180 pounds, 14 dress size, size 9.5 shoes. I'm kind of an elegant woman & like everything pink, nice & neet. Love my nails & classic Revlon Red. Moving back to Florida, so excited but so much work moving
