Its been a while since I posted here. Some of you might recall my marital troubles. They're by no means unique. I am posting this to say that my marriage has failed, and my wife is leaving me. As much as I hate it, especially with a child involved, I almost feel relieved. For the first time in my life I am able to be who I am without much regard for anyone else's input. I am transgender, I know that now. Its taken a long time to realize how far all this went but now I know. I probably wont ever be completely out...I have too many people I care too much about who wouldnt understand. One major change has been that, with the exception of those certain people, I dont care what anyone else thinks about me. It is liberating to be able to spend my personal time in the way I feel most comfortable, and it is wonderful to venture out a little more as I grow more comfortable by the day. So despite all the pain of this experience I am hopeful. For the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel happy. One door closed, but a much more wonderful one has opened for me. Thanks for reading.
