Hi Girls
I have been posting in TS section lately as I have been facing many issues connected with being TS. However , I have many friends here and wanted to share what has happened the last few days. It has been a big step for my family.
My 16 year old daughter arrived Saturday to stay for 3 weeks. My wife and I decided that once she was here we would tell my 11 year old son about my gender. We wanted him to be able to process this with her. She knows and is very supportive of me being Suzanne. We told him on Sunday. I posted on TS forum about the experience. He was upset at first about the change to his dad. I was in drab mode and told him he didn't have to see me as Suzanne until he was ready. We did show him a picture.
So he seemed better every day. I kept checking in with him and he was ok. So yesterday I was going shopping with my daughter in Suzanne mode. My son knew and was hanging out in his room as I got ready. I came out and we were getting ready to leave. He came out of his room and I told him son we are leaving. He said he knew and he wanted to see me. He came over and looked very closely at me. He said, "You look good!" Then he sat down and turned on the tv.
I was floored. He just did so well . I was so proud. So we left and went shopping. After a few hours I received a call from my wife. My son wanted us to come home and watch a movie together. We returned home. I came in and we snuggled on the couch. My wife took a picture of Suzanne on the sofa with 2 of her children. I will always treasure that photo!
It has been a rough month. However. Moments like last night make it so worth it. When I tucked my son in later I had changed out of my clothes and taken my make up off . I told him how proud of him I was and how happy he had made me. I know there are tough days ahead but I want to hold on to what happened last night!
Hugs
Suzanne
