Hi Lady Congrats on physically having arranged your physical alteration to represent the lady you've always been. Yes, life have steps for everyone to climb, but without these steps we wouldn't be learning. Go out, show the world the lady you are. Can't be held back and ready for action. Remember safety first, and lots of hugs Michele

Dear Friends, Growing up, I was much closer to my father than to my mother. The physical abuse from my mother started when I was four years old, when she saw me shooting up in height, and that I was not going to be petite like her. Also was physically abused by my father because I was unplanned and not brilliant. Think parents have expectations and hopes for their children, and when they are not fulfilled, parents can be deeply disappointed. If only parents realized that they do not own their children, but are loaned their children by the Higher Power! Am pleased I found reconciliation with both parents well before they died! Your friend, Monica

Dear Jay, May I suggest you keep a writing pad and pen or pencil or even an audio recorder on your night stand. As soon as you wake up from a dream, record it in every detail, and then go back to sleep. Dreams can tell us a lot about ourselves. In my case, I am 58, but I always dream as if I am in my teens or twenties. Also, I use a cane, and I never use a cane in my dreams. Yours truly, Monica

Big hug. Yes

Best wishes Chrissy. Go, go, go. XXX

Hello Kerig, I like it that you are sharing with us instead of trying to kick down a door, fight someone, or hurt yourself. Much better to vent here and wait to see your therapist. Perhaps also start a personal diary/journal to jot your thoughts down? Only write 1-2 pages/day, so it's no big deal. Helps me a lot! About replying to messages: when you hit the Reply button it copies the text from the previous message into your editor so you can highlight stuff if you want to, and delete the rest. It's handy but you don't have to use it. Instead, just scroll to the bottom of the message(s) and you'll see an editor box waiting for you to type into. Like I'm doing now. When you're finished, just click on "Add Comment." About shaving: I have a lighter beard but I have to shave every day. My wife kind of likes it when I grow it out a little but I don't care for it, and it's my face, right? Isn't it funny how MTFs and FTMs are so opposite. You'd love to have a beard and the downstairs "floppy bits" and I'd love to have breasts and a nice clean face. Take care, Emma
