24/7 but not how I might have liked.

you also are hurting sister take care of you too

Sorry Tilly, separation from a partner is horrible, but it does not mean that you should stay somewhere that is unworkable- we all change and grow during our lives, you have a lot of exciting growing ahead of you too x

The hardest part was saying goodnight to my daughter over the phone...

I am doing wonderfully with the freedom, but I still have trouble with hurting the ones I love.  My wife started talking annulment of our marriage, saying that I entered into the marriage under fraudulent circumstances.  I won;t fight her over any of this as long as she agrees to split equitably and not restrict contact with our daughter.

As part of a conversation this evening with her, I told her that I had spoken to my mom about what's going on, she replied that she (my mom) might tell my sister before I had the chance to.  I told her that's fine, I'm not embarrassed, she said it must feel freeing.  I think she is finally getting it that the decision I made was not that I should be a woman, but rather that I decided to stop lying to myself and everyone else.

On a side note, I have realized that my thoughts have been absolutely less destructive and negative since I have been able to be me.

Again with all my love,

Tilly
