Hi all,
I thought I owed you all an update. I registered here several months ago and made an introduction but I am on three other sites, and get kind of busy. Sigh
So I came out to my wife in January and that was tough and there were a lot of rough nights but things are calming down. Day by day. It has changed our relationship and probably forever (not certain) but we are still best friends (more like girlfriends now, or so she says...lol) and there is still love. Things are slowly getting better, though unsure of the long term. I know that is not exactly unusual. We just made an appointment to get massages and facials together this week. I take that as a good sign.
On other fronts, after self medicating with herbs for three years and managing to go from flat to a solid 38B, I finally bit the bullet and visited an endo in early February. Since then I have been on regular monitored HRT, and working regularly with a gender therapist. This is all good.
I am still not "out" to my kids, which is a limiting factor. I have an arrangement with my wife allowing me to get out dressed once or twice a month which seems sufficient (though frustrating) for now. I am tall, so passing is not easy, but I manage. I am reaching a point where I now feel crossdressed when I am in drab. I can live with that. I am an actor (actress?) by training and profession so playing a role is easy, to a degree so long as I know where the boundaries are. The therapist is helping with that area, too.
Have managed to drop my weight even further, and finally got my ears pierced...isn't it funny how little things can be so pleasing?
So, all in all, things are moving along fairly well and in general, excepting the emotional mood swings that hit sometimes out of the blue, I am doing well.
I will post pics for you as soon as I reach the requisite post count. If you are on some other sites you may already know me.
I am going to be at the Southern Comfort Conference in September in Atlanta. I simply cannot wait. Is anyone else going?
Sorry I have not been on much. I spend a lot of time talking to other girls from the other sites. Ax you are all aware there are a heartbreakingly large number of girls sitting in lonely rooms afraid to tell or talk to anyone. I was one of them for a long long time. Some very dear friends helped me get out of that and I can =never repay them for that. Instead, whenever I can I try to help others. Its the very least I can do.
Hugs
Sammie
I plan to be
