Wow, thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
Lori Dee, I did takew a look at the site rules and read new members read first before posting my intro, so I will read the other links now as well, thank you
Maid Marion, I'm am unsure of my skin tone exactly. When I tan, it goes in an olive direction, but I've spent the last year writing indoors, so I'm afraid I am kinda pasty.
Pema, yes I think it will take time. She couldn't say anything after her mother and I sat down to discuss it, only shrug her shoulder and look away. I ask what she thought since her friend Mateo as come over since elementary school and played dolls, Anna and Elsa dress-up, and now they put make-up on together; her friend Augustine wears high heels at times; and Victoria came out to her as lesbian, so what was the proble? She said that was different, those were her friends. She wrote me a letter later that evening saying that she was happy that I found myself but that she couldn't support me, that it was different now. Yet, later that evening she came into my room without saying anything and curled up in my arms and I stroked her head until she fell asleep. I think she is slowly getting used to the idea but it will take time.
It is one of the reasons I sought out an online community for the beginning of this journey. In RL I also have started attending the Queeres Zentrum Erfurt and building community there too.
So, thank you every one, once again, for the warm and wonderful welcome.
