Stefi is coming out

[Stefi]

Came out to my 3 sisters and my 2 sons. Still need to with my 2 brothers and 2 daughters. Got great response from all who I have talked with.  2 of my sisters opened their home to me so my wife can have some reflection time. Been here since Saturday and am going home tomorrow. They have been great support for me and are spoiling their their new found sister. I have never been this complete in my whole life. I am getting ready for bed soon in my new black and pink jammies. Have my nails done and a whole bunch of new clothes.

 

I still am hoping my wife will start to accept who I am. I am hoping my remaining siblings and children. I think most of them will be ok.

 

HUGS Stefi

Congratulations, Stefi!  I am glad it went well.  Having family support is so valuable.

It's wonderful to hear that you have so much family support, Stefi.  It's important and it makes the journey so much easier.  Hopefully your wife will adapt and accept.  it takes time.  It took my wife most of a year to fully embrace my new self.  So, yes, patience is important, as well as open communication and compassion.  Best wishes.

Almost done coming out with immediate family. Have talked with all siblings except my brother (he is on vacation in California) and my "baby" Daughter (23 yrs old) who is out of town visiting her in-laws. All positive reaction from them. I will talk to those 2 as soon as they get back in town. My wife seems to be settling down also. One big hurdle with her is me starting HRT. She is adamant that I do not do HRT and this may stop all progress we have achieved.

 

I am at my sisters for the next few days being Stefi and loving it. Next project is finding a temporary hair style as my hair grows out. I still need more clothes and plan on doing more shopping this week. A girl can never have enough clothes.

Stefi is out of closet(more room for clothes now). I have spoke with all of my immediate family(children, siblings and their families). I got tons of support from all except my wife, who is still in denial.

My wife was also really nervous about losing me when I start HRT. She's afraid of losing the man she married. I told her that just because I told her a new thing about me, it doesn't change that I've always been what I am and I loved her the whole time. Let her know that you're the same person and that you'll always be, regardless of what you look like.
