I will never give up the sound of music... I will never know what it sounds like coming out of my mouth again... Its the price I paid for sanity.

I'm glad that you wont be going back to that well. Help given grudgingly is worse than no help at all.

Sending you hugs with best wishes for strength, happiness and success. :)

Dana...thank you. That was eloquent and poignant. I am dealing with the OTHER side of this issue: neither my H nor B has ever had a relationship with either gender. Always everything would be sabotaged so that no one could find out who lived under the B's skin. Men couldn't love B. Women couldn't love H. I feel myself helpless and shut down...because I could love both in any way s/he needs. Thank you so much for this blog.

Wow Dana, thank you for sharing this insightful struggle. Being transgender is a tough road and we all have to find our way through the complications, especially relating to family. I found that having a strong support network including my therapist, mother, friends and a local TG support group helped me work through the maze. Online resources weren't even available at that time. It was one step at a time and sometimes the going got tough, but it worked out pretty well in the end. My best wishes for you. I hope you have the support you need.
