Okay,, So its not all about me

I finally had a chance to talk with my son who was 12 when the transition bombshell was dropped on my family. He is 19 now, soon to be 20 and I was shocked at the deepness of his voice. But we talked as awkward as it was and the silence has been broken finally. I am finding myself in deep thought coming to terms with the havoc that he must have gone through. But we talked and that is huge and hopefully leads to more in time. Hopefully I will deal with the guilt I am feeling at this moment in time

I'm proud of you :D

@OnStagewwhs Thanx, one of the true gifts of my switcheroo is that I see the world so much differently then previously. I have a such deeper understanding of myself n the world around me. The critical thought about me by myself and my place is quite humbling trust me,ha. I am doing a talk at Luzerne County Community College in the beginning of April and I want to share that part of who I am, what makes me tick and that your sexuality or place on the gender spectrum is really doesnt matter at all

@Transjenny1969 Thank you sweetie. I wish I could have done a better job presenting this video. I wanted to hit the gut core feelings and I think I missed those along the way. I know how they feel just not good at presenting them to the public. Happy New Year to you also and happiness in 2011

@777Marlene Thanx for your warm thoughts. I think I was okay when Susan handed him the phone and he got on and said His first words. My mind is locked on the memory of this prepuberty child and his manerisms and voice. Those first words were very deep, those of a man. It totally threw me and broke my concentration completely. I think I actually stuttered at first and I never quite recovered. It has me a bit depressed that his growing up was something else this gender issue cheated me out of

golly Jenna,this made me think....i've never approached it like that before,even though you and i are very close in age,nonetheless, impact is something i dont give much thought to...all my immediate family have passed on ,and i never married and never had children, for my act it's pretty much me,myself and i....it must take alot of heart and soul to sit down and work out things like that with a person who is your own kid,,,,my admiration of you grows continually gal <3 U

Happy New Year, and I hope you can stay connected to your Son... :)
