I've wanted to be a guy for most of my life and only three years ago have I realized that I could actually do it. I'm just not sure who I am, like who I really am. I've been pretending to be a girl and been depressed for my whole life, I don't know what I'm going to do when I become a guy. I also have a young daughter who needs a female parent. I'm scared... I want to be my true self, but I don't know who he is.:tears:
Give yourself time, do plenty of soul searching and deep thinking. Gender therapy can help you explore some of those feelings and concerns. Also, why specifically does your daughter need a female parent? I see it as your child just needing a parent who is unconditionally loving and supportive, and I'm not sure why a specific gender fits into things.
Thanks. I just worry a lot. ---------- Post added 26th Nov 2014 at 05:55 PM ---------- I need to be happy in order for her to be happy.
