Well, it's amazing when one gets sick what comes out.
My wife has come down with the stomach bug, and last night it seemed like she just let it all hang out. She let me know what she thought about all the changes that I've made. The list is basically everything that I've changed, nothing about the clothing so far. All about my body, and my mannerisms. Yes, my mannerisms I haven't made a huge effort to change them, and I'm not on hormones so I can't blame it on that. Yet, as I change my wardrobe and think about myself more solidly as Joan instead of John. I don't hear my name outside of work very much, so it has made thinking about myself as Joan pretty easy. Yet, most of the people I interact with are family. So I hear Dad, Daddy, Hun, Honey, my middle name, or my last name. Most don't use my first name... Also she told me that the farther along I go the farther away she becomes. And that if I do hormones I have to leave the house, and my boys will be without their dad.
I'm sorry that this has become a bit of a dumping this morning. I just needed to let it out somewhere.
I think this is in the correct place. If not please move, wasn't sure if it was here or "Loved Ones"
