Hi Everyone
Ive been around the forum for a while and many of you might know my story. I am male to female transexual who has recently come out and started living my life as a woman. I have been taking Hormones for over 3 years continued to live and dress as a man in the fear that i might loose my daughter or mess her head up. But i could no longer hide the physical and mental changes and with support from people on here decided to start my life as Christina and tell my daughter the truth and those around me that needed to know, my work and daughters school and so on. This was a few weeks ago.
My daughter was fine and we are actually closer than ever, other people have been a mixed reaction, some good and some bad.
However i now feel absolutely terrible and distraught almost at some reactions that have happened the last week or so and now i feel my daughter is suffering because of me and who i am.
Last week at school i picked my daughter up as normal, she walked out with one of her friends, I had sweets to give to my dd and i gave a pack to her friend as well. I thought nothing of it at the time. The following day i picked my daughter up and i was approached by the father of child who i had given sweets to the previous day. He was instantly aggressive towards me and told me to not give his son sweets as he did not want him confused ? i asked what he meant and he replied you know what i mean, that there was rumours about me for a long time. I knew very well what he was talking about, he then said he would appreciate if i would stay away from his son and for my daughter to do the same. I was upset and horrified at his reaction and did not know what to say or do, i felt like everyone was looking at me and i started to cry. He walked off and i got in the car with my daughter.
Then the start of this week the teacher phoned me to say there was some teasing going on with some of the kids and my daughter. I was assured it was nothing serious but when i asked my dd she said that some of the kids had been calling me names. I knew this could happen. I spoke to 2 of the parents yesterday and they seemed fine and said they would talk with the kids and apologised to me.
But the worst thing for me is my daughter has not had a birthday party for over 3 years, her birthday is in January and she asked me if she could have a party and invite friends over. This was last week. I said yes and thought it would be so lovely for her. She asked 2 of her best friends at school and they asked there parents. I spoke to them today and both have said there kids cannot come, now they where not horrible or funny with me but now im thinking why can't they come ? is there more to this ? or am i being paranoid. I just feel so bad at the moment and feel im messing up my daughters life because of my issues :(
