i told my parents today that I plan to transition.  They took it better than i expected.  They have known that I was TG for a long long time but it was still hard to tell them.  I have also sent an email to my older sisters and so far they are completely supportive.  That was a great weight lifted from my shoulder there.  I have heard so many horror stories about girls' families disowning them after they came out that I was scared stiff.  I don't know how things will be in the future but we shall see.

Hugs

Thank you very much for all of the support.  I feel like I am on a runaway roller coaster ride at times.  It's really funny considering that I started to see a therapist in August last year for help on how to suppress my nature.  I just saw her today, and she says that I am positively glowing and vibrant now.  She said that when I first came to see her I had a huge dark cloud hanging over me and that even though I wanted to suppress it my body language told her otherwise.  I feel more happy than I have in many many many years.  I have noticed that I have become a little more bouncey and I talk with my hands a whole lot more than I used to.  And I'm not even trying.  The support that I have received from my sisters has been overwhelming as well.  I was talking to my oldest sister on the phone last night and she told me that it was about time that I accepted who I was and did what needed to be done.  That caught me completely by surprise.  but anyway, aside from my wife who wants a divorce, the rest of my family is actually happy for me.

Yay.

Very few in my family know I'm a CD. I have gotten so thier opinions are not that important. Happiness with ones own life is necessary in order to retain some semblance of sanity. So maybe in these situations "Failure is not an option." Hugs, Genevieve
