My son was in foor a short stay so I decided it was time.  I tried not to give too much info about my transitioning.  He was stunned and in disbelief.  He says he isn't approving.  I just asked for an open mind and to absorb it all.  He called his SO and she said that I was still me and still family.  I said I would wear a suit to his wedding next year so as not to upstage their big day.  I talked about it and he listened.   Everything seems okay for the time being.

Hi Donna,

That must be a load off your mind. I sincerely hope the coming days and weeks will be profitable for you and your son. Sounds like his SO will be of wonderful support for both of you.

Stay in touch and let us know how you are coping.

All the very best wishes

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa luv

Thank you Catherine.  Her support for him will be a tremendous help.  My next step is to tell my starch old conservative mother.

Hi Donna,

My thoughts and prayers go with you on this venture. I hope it resonates a chord of acceptance with your mother.If she did her job properly, she should have had some inkling, long time ago.

I'm attempting to do the same to mine. Regrettably she is just starting dementia. Early days but you can see it happening. I know she always longed for a daughter, and indeed it would be truly the greatest gift I could ever give her. Her lifelong dream  -  mine too.

Keep in touch and let us know how you cope.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa love
Catherine
