Struggling

Hi. My husband of 24 years recently came out as transgender MTF. We have 3 children together one of whom is FTM. I recently left him because I just am struggling with being able to deal with it all. I'm just looking for support and someone to listen to me vent, I guess.

Welcome. You sure have a lot to deal with! Not only a transgender child, but your husband as well! You have certainly have experiences and perspective many of us might not. This is a good place to vent. Share your story here. We all understand what you are going through. And please vent. This is a safe place to do that.

I left my husband after 29 years. It means quite a few adjustments and a different way of life, especially after being a married woman for so long. The divorce has made it easier to sort out my feelings. I am calmer and happier. I still have a lot of rebuilding of my confidence to do. Questioning why I allowed myself to stay in such an unhappy situation for so long, and trying to find my sexuality again. Trusting another man is going to be very difficult.

You've already taken the giant step of leaving your marriage. I hope you have friends, or a therapist you are talking to about your feelings. I hope that this group will help you as well.
