🧵 So, I blocked my mom and my 4 siblings yesterday. Our relationships have never been great, and they have never seen me for who I really am, but when I came out as a #tranny, they got worse.
I finally got to a point of acceptance (thanks to a couple of amazing therapists, and trauma work with one of them) that no matter what I said to them, they were not going to change until something drastic happened, and all I could do was deal with my reaction and actions.
🧵 ...this point, because I knew, deep inside, that my gut feelings of walking away until they were ready to have me in my life as me were right. I couldn't do it for an excruciatingly long time for a few reasons.
My dad. If I cut off ties to my siblings and mom (who is still married to my mom), will he understand and be able to get past it?
