Telling My Family
Hey all, been a while since I've posted. Just wanted to share this with you.
I'm 26 now and I've been struggling with my attraction to transgendered women for 10 years and have been unconsciously punishing my self by drinking and generally not taking good enough care of my well being. I was worried what my family would think if they found out and so I shut myself away from the world. That is, until today when I realised I shouldn't punish myself for who I am. There's nothing wrong with me and the shame I felt was completely irrational.
This was proven to me when I finally decided to tell my mother and sister that I was interested in TS women, my mother didn't even bat an eyelid and she told me she loves me no matter what. It's like a weight has been lifted that's was there for a long time, now I can live the rest of my life free of shame (however irrational). I feel now that I can move forwards and enter into a meaningful relationship with a woman and do so without any emotional baggage.
I'm not writing this to brag or to encourage people to tell their families about their preferences. I just wanted to share this story with everyone so that they know, you may imagine the worst possible scenario when contemplating telling your family. But if they truly love you then it won't matter if you tell them. Thanks for reading hope it helps.
