Thanks Teri Jean,i really do not know what to expect at the docs,i am up and down like a yo-yo at present,i just hope i do not freeze up during the visit,at the moment i feel good i hope for the chance to get some release and actually get to where i want to be. :hugs:

Debs and I went to the family Dr a few weeks back and we have her first counseling appointment today ............. this is a very quick response due to her past history and her self harming coming back and we know that, and are very grateful for it :)

Good luck for Monday and keep us posted :hugs:

Hi all,well this is my second attempt to post as i lost the first one :doh: well just to update you,i attended the Doctors yesterday and had well a breakdown in her office i just let go,you see i did not tell her the facts only skirted around the edges, and that hurt as i felt sure this is the time to get help but not having any info on how the courts would treat me in a adoption case made me uneasy to fully discuss.

Today i had a chat with a guy who helps with gender issues and he seemed 50/50 on the courts taking my side,so yet again i am in a dilemma,its so unfair you know i feel so trapped by society's rules,i think maybe another year will pass before i can seek the help i need,every day is just torture,sorry for the moan as i know we all have our own issues to deal with. *bye* :)
