Hello JuneMy name is
Sarah B and I would like to formally, Welcome you to Susan's Place!
We all take different paths to get here. Our journeys depend so much on our history, our families, the times we grew up in and everything that has happened along the way. Sometimes it takes years or even decades before the time finally feels right. The important thing is to follow your heart and listen to what it has been telling you.
Coming out is never easy, no matter how supportive we hope people will be. Telling your daughters after carrying this for so many years must have been incredibly scary. That first hug with tears in her eyes sounds like such a special moment. It also sounds like you have four wonderful daughters and having them as some of your biggest supporters must mean so much.
I also really admire the courage it took to get to the point where you said "screw it" and posted on Facebook. Telling family is one thing, but putting yourself out there for everyone to see takes another kind of courage. Once you made up your mind you certainly went for it!
Most importantly, you are not alone. There are many of us here who have taken very different roads to arrive at the same place. There are people here to share the good days, the difficult days and everything in between.
Susan's is also a wealth of information. There are years of experiences and knowledge here from people with all sorts of backgrounds. There is plenty to explore and usually someone who has been through something similar or who can point you in the right direction.
It is great to hear that you have already found groups like Phases of Fit, Transgender Zone and Trans London and even better to hear that life is so much better now.
Keep following your heart's desire and enjoying being yourself.
Once you feel comfortable here, it would be appreciated if you add a little bit more about yourself in the
Introductions Forum, of course. I would appreciate it very much as, I'm always interested in learning something new about new members
In addition members of Susan's will more than likely will discuss problems or issues that are similar to yours as most have experienced these as well.
