Thanks for the additional assistance everyone.
First, I do understand that my transition won't actually start until 5 years from now,  and in fine with that.
Second, the factors that I am talking about that could further delay me aren't from her, but financial, political,  etc. I for one won't let people get in my way anymore,  and I made that painfully clear to her when we were discussing/arguing.
Lastly, as I said before, she isn't as bad as this situation is putting out. She is allowing me to do laser once we can afford it. She is very supportive with dressing and allowing me to have girl time out. I was even allowed to gobtoba bridal shower instead of her (for a mutual friend).
Don't forget, as much as some of our family views us as being selfish even though we always aren't,  we have to remember the same is true for them.

So you have to waste your life just so someone (who?) won't possibly think badly of someone else? Sounds like a poor deal to me.

Maybe you make it sound bad when you say, "She will allow me to ..." rather than, "We agreed to ..."
