I am a mother of a 39 year old transexual (male to female-not altered surgically) woman who has been a prostitute since she was fifteen years old and first transitioning. I supported the transition, but her father did not and she has no contact with him. We have very little contact with each other. I'm wondering if this is common, and it is somewhat urgent because I have a life threatening medical diagnosis and she is not responding to my texts, phone calls or emails. I know she is ok because she is posting photos of herself and her girlfriend vacationing on Catalina Island. It makes me so sad. I feel unloved and unappreciated after all we both went through together and how much I supported her when she needed it. My psychotherapist thinks that she is spoiled and self centered. But I don't want to give up hope. I hate to say it, but before she came out I feel that she was more capable of love, at least towards her family. She came out during a one on one session with her psychiatrist and then during a family session with me. I have seen her website and it seems to me that she is preying on her clients for their money, maybe this is typical of all sex workers, but it is difficult for me to swallow. She had a great education, upbringing and is very talented and intelligent. She is perfectly capable of making a living in another, safer way. I wonder what will happen when her physical beauty is growing old. She is almost forty and is showing signs of aging. She claims on her website that she is in her twenties.
