    Hi. My name is Ayme. I am transgender MTF. The issue is, I told my mom that and she didn't believe me. We forgot about it. She needs to know. I need help. I need a professional. I need hope. I need whatever I can get.

    Do you know if she's accepting of LGBT+ people? If she is, tell her again, and tell her that you really need her to know and you need help. If she's not, then I don't know, but I hope this helps! :slight_smile:

    What did she say exactly? I noticed you are 14, so she might be one of those parents that blows teens off as the 'too young to know type' (which is garbage honestly). Maybe give her time to process, find out her view on the LGBT community and try another serious discussion.

    I'm in a similar situation. After coming out as trans to my parents, they haven't seemed to accept it. This was about a year ago. Now I haven't further discussed my gender ID after going back and forth with them. You cannot really control about how others feel regardless of how much you educate. I've been counseling for a while and you could say that it helped me cope. But since it's a drastic cost I have mainly been focusing on gaining income and finding another home.

    Thanks. More than anything I think I need to connect with a professional.

    You might have a look here for a few thoughts that might help:
    http://emptyclosets.com/forum/comin...m-doesnt-know-im-actually-her-daughter.html#2

    Just remember this all is a process... simply keep at it..

    You might think about getting a good gender therapist, and talking it through with them...
    you might ask at plannedparenthood, a lgbt center, a counselor at school you trust, or look for a gender therapist... if they are not supportive you might look for another...

    another option might be to say at home you want counseling, for emotional issues, and look for someone who has gender on their list...
    there are even online conselors...
    if its connected with depression for example it might be covered.

    If you want to talk to someone in person you can call here:
    talkline - GLBT National Help Center
    they also have a chat

    Trans Lifeline - (877) 565-8860 - Transgender Crisis Hotline
