Went to my first Pride on Saturday

"You took the kids to a Pride festival?"

"Just a little one."

"What?"

"There wasn't anything indecent."

"Okay."

Yeah, I think the kids will be fine. They're been through worse things than disagreeing with relatives. Honestly, I'm more worried about my mother. She's the one having the hardest time. She's hurting me and distancing herself from her grandchildren over my identity. I want to help her understand, but anything and everything I say about it seems to make thing worse for her. Keeping quiet about it is all I can do right now.

I don't think it would be a good idea to take her to see my therapist though. First of all, she probably thinks that the therapist is trying to "cure" me so that I "won't want to be a man anymore". I'm not sure how she'd handle it if she knew I was asking for a letter so I could start HRT. She might try to talk the therapist out of giving it to me, or try to ban me from starting T while I'm still living in her house.

Secondly, I did reveal a lot about my past to the therapist during our first visit. She knows how my mother dumped all her problems on me and neglected me as a teen. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to introduce them right now, if at all.
