Congratulations on your surgery, I hope everything goes well for you. I am very similar to you in as much as I am self employed, I don’t see my two children from my last marriage no doubt because of the poisonous influence from my ex. I have been fighting HCW for almost two years and getting nowhere yet. I have just had my first private appointment in London and I am looking forward to the next one in April when all being well, I will begin my hormones and start living.

I hope that one day, when my children are old enough to evaluate life for themselves without outside interference, they may very well understand why I had to be me. Of the children from my first marriage , who are all adults now, one in particular is 100% behind me, as is my 83 year old father and I feel extremely proud of them for their understanding and encouragement. I hope that your children will one day accept you as the person you are.
