Ever feel stuck??
Post Body

(Mid 30s, married, kids, not financially supported by anyone)

I'm 4 months on testosterone, and while I'm feeling great mostly, I'm still struggling.

I've tried coming out to my family (mom, sister and in laws) and it's gone absolutely terrible. My in laws just shut the conversation down to the point that they have NO CLUE I struggle with this and am on hormones. I can't even bring up trans as a general topic without them just shutting it down.

I've come out to my mom and she effectively made me feel guilty, and as though I'm an absolute embarrassment for her if I were to do this. She told me I'll always be her daughter and she feels bad for my husband and children (all of whom know and completely supportive and accepting of my transition and identity).

Regardless I'm still on T, and I tell myself I'm not transitioning fully until I can calm my mother down and have some kind of conversation with the in laws.

Truth is, I love and respect my mom and in laws with everything in me. We can absolutely have a difference of opinions and they don't have to accept my identity or transition if they're unable to. With that said, my kids are extremely close with them and I'm not willing to break that bond by going no contact.

My question is how do you choose when where and how is the best time to transition??? I keep saying maybe I'll put it off for another few years. Maybe it'll get easier.

I'm scared to push all the way and keep going, but I don't want to stop either.
