So I went to my second therapy session yesterday and told my therapist I wanted to go ahead and start HRT as soon as possible. She said she'll have my letter next session, this upcoming Sunday...Which means all I have to do is find a doctor and start the process.
I was so excited leaving therapy, and I've really been wanting to tell my mother, but I couldn't think of the right time...Though it just got so overwhelming yesterday I couldn't hold back. I called her on face time and asked to speak to her alone...She was so accepting and awesome that I ugly cried and since she has sent me myriad of names all day today. While I knew she wouldn't completely cut me off and she wouldn't be hateful, I expected her to be super weird and not very understanding, I did not expect the full level of acceptance that I received and I am so eternally grateful for that.
Not only do I feel better having it off my chest, I feel better knowing that my parents could literally care less what or who I am or who I'm with....They just want me to be happy.
I still haven't told my grandmother, but I think that's something I am going to discuss with my mother first, and probably have my mother there for. I might also find some some good education pamphlets and compile her a little packet with bible verses that tell her to basically love me and accept me anyway. She's going to be upset, but whatever......
So minus coming out to work, which I am still working on a method, and telling my grandmother...I am pretty much OUT! No more hiding. I can be me to my hearts content and WOW....it's liberating!
