Ilene/Tom, u r not thinking this thru properly. Nor should u try now! On one of the most revered, traditional, family holidays!
U should call your counselor and leave a message that you're in a new crises and need help! Unfortunately, u will probably have to wait for Monday to receive a reply.
Until then, I know all sorts of terrible things r running thru your mind. But, u must reject them. Things r NEVER as bad as u first think!
If u have an opportunity to have a quiet, relaxed, private discussion with your wife, u should. Start by telling her how u miserable and hopeless u feel. Then, just let her talk. I think finding out how she feels and what she wants will make u feel better!
Your brother doesn't understand nor should he. Somewhere he got the idea being trans is a choice. Since u told him, maybe u can commit to having a question and answer discussion? Where u try to explain how u feel!
If u have a family gathering today, I hope u pretended to be ill and skip it? Some family members can be difficult even in the best of times!:brolleyes:
