My 13year old daughter (was 10 when I came out to her and started transition) - I like to think she has dealt with it pretty well all in all, but it was not by any means easy for her. Lots of concerns with school, friends, family, all that, but there has not been any real major problems. Lot of awkward moments when she has to explain me to someone, thats always hard for her. She also gets upset if she notices people staring at me or talking about me.
The family part was hard where she was trying to accept me and understand yet the same time hearing people like my mom and relatives, (and some of her friends parents) not accept me. She was being tugged both ways. At one point we had to threaten to not let my mom see her anymore if she did not lay off making me seem like I was doing something really wrong to my daughter.
I think she misses having that male, father figure in her life and is not really sure how I fit. We have an okay relationship (I hope!) but there is still a lot of distance between us it seems.
When she is an adult and looks back on it I'll be interested in her perspective of it all.
