I'm meeting my son for the first time in three months and I can not cope. At first it was fine, but I soon realized that he didn't recognize me. I am a stranger to him. He was acting shy and as my mom commented on that, my ex said "he acts like that around people he doesn't know" and that just broke me. It struck me that my son will have to grow up and learn who I am while he's known exactly who my ex is to him since the second he was born. I feel like I gave him up and it killed me a little.
So you are trangender and you are the father right? I'm not sure what to do in this situation.. I would tell the truth. What age is he though? Did you ever see him before?
Mother* of her son. You probably meant no harm, starm, but if you meant in terms of biology you could have specified "biological father". (And even that is uncomfortable for many people who are trans.) Just so you know.
