How many have gone through the struggles or internal weakness of coming out as transgender to family? I'm afraid to tell my kids im afraid to lose them. My wife i know i will lose as she is completely religious and is outwardly expressive against my feminine side. I'm afraid my kids will follow their mom. It causes an internal struggle because at this juncture in my life am i being selfish? I just wanted to finally be me and not secretly living it. 
Support group.. advice..strength needed

I know exactly what you mean. I think most if not all of us have gone through those struggles one way or another. If you want a detailed answer, send me a pm and we can discuss it. I would need to know a bit more information though and some of the answer may not be easy for you to hear, but you should hear it.

That is what I am fretting most. I know the day has to come, I can't be fully free until I do so. I know that. I need to find a way to make peace with it. My therapist should help me sort through the mess. Hopefully... all in due time.. but this second half of my life is much shorter. So I want to be a little selfish and live it in a manner that I'm happy.. you know the saying, happy wife happy life.. I've tried to make everyone happy all the time and I'm miserable all the time. It's time to change that perception and be happy. Life is short and time on earth is shorter therefore make the best of it. That's the saying anyway right? Thanks for response..
