To Kitty, Paula, and all of those who posted on this thread. Sometimes, I don't have a lot of time for the Bible. I am not a practising Christian. However, there is some great ancient wisdom, such as "Let he who is without blemish, cast the first stone" and "Judge not, lest ye be judged."
What I am saying - or trying to, is this. I suspect that Paula, and her wife, entered into their marriage with love for each other. I do NOT know, really, if Paula knew at that time, what road she was going to take, and for Paula's wife, the recent revelations must have been devastating. Me, I'm just a plain vanilla crossdresser. My wife is fine with that, and I am so fortunate. That is OUR situation. That said, if I said tha I want to transition, I could perfectly well understand if there was a backlash. Circumstances alter cases.
All I can say is that I hope for both of you, that there is the best possible outcome in the circumstances. With the caveat, Paula, that you must make SURE that you get the best legal advice to ensure that you are not financially destroyed. Don't let that happen, however your guilt feelings (if you have them) are. Look after yourself, because trust me, the system will not.
Hugs. Amanda.
