For those who live with their parents AND are on T; do they accept your voice change? How do they feel about it? Do they give you trouble? 

I've been living with my mom during just about every step of transition and at first it was a little difficult for her to understand my need for medical intervention, but she was really supportive. I'm lucky that my whole family came to terms with it. My mom understands trans issues and has a few 'old school' transsexual friends.

that's the only reason i'm not on T now. i've started by talking in a lower range while i'm still not on T so she'll get more used to it once i start it. i just don't think it'll be safe for me to start T while still living with her. it sucks, i know.

I am still not talking to her because my mom still questions me if my voice will always be like this and that will it not go back....  I told her already that I am fine with it but she hates it and says it doesn't belong to me but rather someone else. It's hard to not talk and live in the same house because sometimes I need to ask something and I am just silent.

Yeah I'm wondering how my parents are going to be when my voice starts dropping.  They aren't accepting.  Well, my mom for sure isn't, my dad... well it might be too early to say. He could swing either way at this point.  I live with them so this will be interesting. I'm hoping to start T very very soon. I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about them kicking me out, at least.

Living with unaccepting parents is hard, whether you are on T or not.  You have to set boundaries and not be afraid to stand up for yourself, even if you are living under their roof.  When I was living with my parents I had to deal with a bunch of junk from my mom, my dad didn't care and accepts me.

I don't know if my dad 'accepts' me or not but I at least know that he doesn't care. He never even mentioned the voice change. I think that he didn't even notice. But I literally can't even talk to my mom (about anything).  I am not wanted in the house basically. I don't know what the deal is but I am obviously the same person.

my experience with an unaccepting and verbally and emotionally abusive mother, is that it helps me to tell her that i have just the same right to an opinion as her, and how she makes me feel when she uses offensive or abusive language. expressing it in words rather than tears or a fit makes me feel a whole lot better. i no longer let her cut me off or tell me my own meanings and feelings are less valid than hers.

what i've realized when it comes to my mom, is that her empathetic disability (she doesn't abuse on purpose, just never learned to give others any space at all) stems from her own unresolved issues, and an emotional immaturity of hers. she's mostly like an overgrown teenager, and when she acts that way, i treat her like that. i won't treat her as a mother or give her the same respect as i would a mother, if she doesn't act like one. she is responsible for her own words and actions, so i hold her responsible for it rather than let her make me feel guilty for not living up to her childish view of the perfect family.

i'll admit it can still be exhausting, but changing my way of handling the situation has made life much easier for me. and more difficult for her, but that won't change unless she changes, and it's not my fault in any way. parents should expect their children to be themselves, not perfect.

will get really fun if i can get access to medical transition... i haven't started that process yet, but i believe i'll have to work by the same principles. i have a right to be me, my mother has no right to try and stop me unless what i'm doing is actually harmful to myself or others. transitioning isn't, so trying to stop it would be overstepping way too many boundaries, and ignoring one's responsibility as a parent. (i do have a right to think this way about parenting, i'm a parent myself, as well as a child of parents.)
