Good Tuesday morning    things have been a bit on edge around here.  Nothing I do seems to suit my wife. Doesn’t matter if I ask her in advance or just try to do something on my own.  Went to bed annoyed again.    @MirandaB I’ve had the I’m not a lesbian rant before as well.  The tough part is that to me, I’m still me, just dressed a little different and with breasts and missing a couple of nonfunctional things.  Mine gave up on divorce when she realized neither of our kids would take her in and she couldn’t live on half our income.  I had already determined how I could live on half so the threat wasn’t as big a concern.  I didn’t want it but figured I could live my life.  We have remained together.    

Argan and Brazil nut oil are the main ingredients apparently.   I did some research before I bought this product and coconut oil was highly recommended, but $30 for a 4oz bottle of it was a bit excessive I thought. This one I bought was only $6.50 for the same size!    Oh, and thank you, @Vidanjali.

Lovely, especially as read.  Thank you   Hugs,   Charlize

When you were at your lowest point, what pulled you through?

Optomistic about life in general now.

@Mikki So glad to meet you Mikki. You are indeed NOT ALONE. The people here are amazing and an oasis and affirming. I can relate to your background and have similar experiences. I have recovered to the point that I am now a Certified Peer Recovery Supporter (work with those who have had substance abuse or mental health issues - being I've had them and can relate). I am grateful and glad I made it through and I know you will to. Hugs Heather

Our Eyes   I'm a girl inside of me— only half what you don't see.

I need try this my hair grows but curls up so much the length never looks different.

Hi there and thanks to the moderators for approving my membership. I am a transfemale who is in need of a little support to find my feet in this world. I am in recovery from addction for the last 12 years, survivor of suicide and battling a food addiction.  Looking to connect with others and learn about frienships, as I have always been a loner. 

I use a lotion for my curly and unruly hair that I make myself. I mix it in a squirt bottle. I use, in Davie's Hair lotion treatment: • Use 2 parts non-oily moisturizer • Add 1/2 part ACV, apple cider vinegar   • Add 2 tablespoons of Epsom salts, magnesium sulfate • Add 2 parts water • Add a scent like an essential oil if you like.      Shake well before applying to damp hair, work it in, then style it as it dries. You can also squirt some into hair and restyle it any time.   Good for thin or thinning hair for seniors to give body and some curl to it. The water and weightless silicone-free products are the perfect romance for curly hair.

I also use biotin infused hair oil and a bit of leave in conditioner. It sure eliminates the frizzies. 

Well then they must not understand the True meaning of Love.  It's unconditional.  If there are 'conditions' it's not Love. @missyjo I've gone through similar with some of my family members, BUT, regardless of how they react, accept or not, there was always a silver lining -- LIBERATION from the chains of secrecy and hiding and the ability to live as our True Self --- not everybody will accept us in our Journey but why should we live a cloistered life just because of others?  Now you can move forward (and in girl-mode!) I trust some (and hopefully ALL) of your family will eventually realize how much happier and complete you are as a human being and as a valued family member.  If so, then they will come around. Deep breaths ...

Understand @AllieJ.  No worries.  Thank you for the explanation

Celtics win championship. Beautiful!

Is it argan or mortician oil?  I use that often😊
