Some Fine Day

Burying my male identity, I strove to be the best woman possible. But after raising my four wonderful children from two debilitating marriages, I found myself alone and nearly penniless. That was when Emery asserted his identity.<br><br>Life became better with the shift from female to male, a third marriage, and a wife who, herself, transitioned from male to female.

Since I moved so much, and had as a child as well, I was used to making new friends. I didn’t like it after grade school but it was possible. What was important to me was not to lose the old ones. Some examples:

My oldest ‘girlfriend’, my best friend from age eight. She didn’t make the leap. I think we’re sort of in touch on Facebook but definitely not close; I’m closer to one of her relatives who is bi than I am to her.

One of my kids, nope, but because of other reasons (supposedly) but enough to not want to continue to know me, now.

Another kid; coming along with shattered and realigned priorities due to a health crisis.

An Al-Anon friend whom I sponsored and mentored: Nope. When I told her my son was gay, she gasped in horror and said, “Gayness is caused by the devil and it happens in the womb!” Stupid enough to believe this, but unforgiveable to say it to someone’s face.

My own Al-Anon ‘sponsor’: No problem, she was a lesbian, anyhow.
