As you can see by my avatar, this is me.  Minus the head shot, cuz I have to live the role as "neutral" while I am still living here at this house in florida.  As you can see, I will not be able to hide the girls much longer, and have a 15 year old son that we are trying to protect from all of this.  I wear baggy clothing as much as possible to cover myself up.  I had to quickly change out of this to a more neutral attire, when I move about the house.  Ex and daughter are slowly coming around, but I know I can not transition here, and will hopefully be moving out by the end of the month. 

Yes, the tats will be removed, or covered up with something, as it is unsightly.  Ah the stupid things we do to ourselves when in our rebellious teens and drunk off our........

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hugs,

Melissa

Hi having raised teenagers myself,  I am not sure what yu can hide from them, if anything.   Sooner or later he is bound to notice yu are a bit on the girlie side.    If he doesn't, one of his friends is bound to and start asking him questions or start making some comments or start avoiding him.   Either way their is going to be pain and he is not going to know why if he is not perceptive.   He may even think that there is something wrong with him.  I am just mentioning the other side of the coin.    When I was a teenager in the sixties many of my relatives were alcoholics and hid most of there lifestyle from me.   I was especially dense and may still be.  I internalized my miss reading of my life's misconnects and blamed myself for the distance that I felt others kept from me.    They were probably responding to my family situation and not me personally, but I didn't know that.   These are just some things  to think about as you try to keep things from your kid.   
By the way nice boobs!

Are yu sure that transitioning away from yur family  is the way to go.  I have learned that missing someone and not knowing the true circumstances is one of the hardest things to due.    Its even harder than getting over anger and disappointment.   Its just a thought.

As is right now, my teenage son has no clue on what I am going thru.  He seldom ever has friends here at the house.  Mostly it is he going to them.  One more month, and he will never know, and it is better that way.  Both  children, are not mine, they are hers.  I only came out to the daughter, cause at one point in time she was exploring her sexuality and was openly bi/lesbian.  So I figured at the age of 22 she would be more accepting.  Uhm, wrong!  But, that is another matter.  The ex, well, she told me point blank, I need a man in my life, so that ended that.  I said okay, and have prepared to move.  I am moving back to my support network, where my counselor and doctors are, as well as a bunch of friends that have always shown me support, even way back when...So, home is where I am going. 

Yes, the boobs took awhile to grow, but I am happy with them, and they are still growing.  Just wish I could slow the process down a little until I am out of this house. 

Hi Melisa, I have sooo many questions. I am too transitioning however my masculine body converts very slowly and sometimes I have doubts weather I will achieve full passability. From the pic you look delicious and breasts are fabulous. Are they all natural, kosher, Organic home grown. How did your face change. I am too looking at leaving home but want to stretch as far as possible for my teenage child, perhaps slow transition is a blessing of sorts. Tough times are ahead, I too live in Florida and thanks to Susan's I do not feel alone in my ordeal.

Love, Alexia.

Ask away.  lol.  Yes, the breasts are natural, no implants.  Facial features do change but it is very soft and a very slow process.  I was/am still very alone.  Though these forums offer some relief, I need human contact.  Where I am heading I will have that human contact.  I miss real hugs....lol

Hi there, bodily you look as though you are doing fine but can't tell overall because of the lack of face, lol. Transition is a slow process anyway as is any puberty, 3-7 years altogether and that depends on available money for ffs, ba, srs, new clothes, make up, house, job, etc, etc. But many of us do perceiver and make a great new life for ourselves. I wish you all the best.
