I hope you feel better soon. Well all i can say is take things at your own pace. Maybe it will help to give your family more info on the subject and also maybe you could look for support groups in your area to meet people who are dealing (or have already gone though transition) with the same things you are.
Good Luck

ps-do you have any messengers?

Thanks, I've given my dad information on the subject and I'm hoping he helps my mom to understand. And no, I haven't gone through the transition. At least not yet.

Thanks. Um, messengers like yahoo an AIM? I've got both..

I'm in the same situation with my dad. He's of the idea that if I ignore it too, it'll go away. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable bringing it up again, and that probably won't happen until I'm at college and away from home.

How did your dad react when you told him? If he's easier to talk to, it might be an advantage to get him on your side first.

How I confronted my dad was a little different. I'm a writer, so I find it easier to express things through my writing. So, I wrote him a letter of what I was and what I needed and that kinds of stuff. He didn't over react or anything like that. He's very liberal. So basically he is kinda on my side. But the problem is, he doesn't have custody of me. My mom does. Which strikes a major interference..

Hey. I saw your post on the transyouth community, and just thought I'd drop by. I also that realized I was trans when I was fourteen (just had my fifteenth birthday a couple weeks ago) and it's awesome that you've, y'know, come to this realization so young in life. It does suck sometimes though, because you think "I'm just a kid, I want to go back to not understanding myself!"

I'm sorry about your mom. My dad was having a lot of trouble with it too, when I told him. I tried to just give him time to adjust, and every now and then I'd bring it up and ask if he had any questions. He's getting better about it... slowly. Veeeeery slowly.

Anyway, good luck to you. Mind if I add you to my friends list?

Yeah, childhood ignorance was a bliss. I don't mind at all.
