Megan,

I've refrained from commenting, since I have no children and have very little experience with them. But I'm very happy to know that you haven't given up on transitioning. It seems to me that your son would be hurt more by having an unhappy father than he would with a joyful mother.

That's my 4 ha'pennies (you still use those, right?)

Steph, even before starting on this road,  my GD (didn't have a name for it then) was already impacting me, my Ex would notice me struggling and pack me off the cinema regularly for a bit of mental escapism without either of us realising what was going on.
It is my greatest hope my children grow up appreciating this

I hate to do this, but I have to.

Megan, are you convinced that detransitioning would somehow make this right? That the hands of time would be reset, and everyone would just go back to the way it was?

I've thought about this, and the only takeaway I see is your son learning that we can pressure people into changing if we don't like who they are. And that if someone doesn't like you, that you should change to please them.

You're going to have to show him that the  person who loves him is still there. Teach him about being true to yourself. He's going to need that someday.

Hugs, Devlyn

Wise words indeed and they match my feeling about this difficult part of the journey you find yourself in Megan...  Sending good and loving wishes your way for navigating the challenges ahead and glad you are not giving up on a life that is YOUR life,,,,

Hugs!!!

Let go of the things that no longer serve you... Let go of the pretense of the false persona, it is not you... Let go of the armor that you have worn for a lifetime, to serve the expectations of others and, to protect the woman inside... She needs protection no longer.... She is tired of hiding and more courageous than you know... Let her prove that to you....Let her step out of the dark and feel the light upon her face.... amg🌸
