for all of us

That's exactly what I've been thinking lately. I love my family dearly, but I will not stay miserable, and continue to live a painful existence just to please them. I'm getting HRT next month, and moving out and on with my life. If not wanting to know your daughter and have her be happy and healthy isn't important enough to you to get over yourself and your hangups about her being trans, then you aren't really her parents, and you don't deserve her.

 

I really needed this today, thanks for posting it (&&&)

So true cluster (*hug*) you need and deserve to live a life true to you.

 

(*hug*) As do you dear.

I never understood how my parents could have sat there when my mom was pregnant "we don't care what it is, as long as it ends up happy and healthy." Then 30 years later, disown their daughter Brooke because she was born a Greg.

 

I'm so sorry cluster. There may be a chance they'll get some sense and come around to see that they're wrong. And that they're losing the chance to be in their own daughter's life. But no matter what, stay strong. (*hug*)

 

I so needed this!!!! Thank you.

Just the other day I decided to live the life I deserve... yes I am an adult and live at home but still... if my family (read mom) have an issue with me being me, dating, meeting my friends etc... it's her issue not mine. I need to be me and not suppress myself anymore as it's causing me depression and sadness.

Thanks to the OP for sharing this post. (*hug*)

 

They haven't actually done that yet. I'm not telling them until after the holidays, cause I don't want to spoil them for everyone...
