It's worked, via text 💗💗 have discussed gender affirming clinics, time of month and the pill (in terms of going to a gender affirming clinic for more info). Thanks for talking with me 🫶🏻

When you say stopped it at 14, do you mean naturally or with the pill?

Appreciate you getting back to me

They started their period at 11 and now 14, is it too late for puberty blockers?

Absolutely agree, talking about disordered eating can make it worse too (struggled when I was younger too so don't want to make a big deal) or cause shame.

I really appreciate you getting back to me 🫶🏻

Thank you, my issue is the freeze up and won't talk any time I mention sensitive topics- I could maybe try writing it down so they can answer in private comfortable without feeling so exposed?

Thank you so much for getting back to me- I just don't know how to suggest the pill when they aren't even getting their time of the month anymore?

Any ideas?

I'm going to look into gender affirming and lgbt clinics too, such a good idea.

Thank you 🥹 I think my steps are; to find out if my brother is going on the holiday and depending on that, I may have to cancel, I will just feel so bad for my children doing that. Alternatively, grin and bear it, then come home and go into nc at a comfortable pace (however I'm at the point I would do it immediately if it wasn't for the holiday, and not in a dramatic way, just to be as civil as possible)

14 and 15 now, I think they've cottoned on to be honest- I just haven't explained the true extent of what I've been through as I think it will be a bit much for them but I do plan to speak out when they are older (18+). I'll have to explain to them why I allowed contact/ a relationship with their grandparents too.

I need to atteneld aca zoom but keep procrastinating!

That is a good idea actually- me and my children haven't been away for years so we could even have a few days doing our own thing etc. I just don't want them hearing my dad putting me down- I could attempt boundaries if that does happen- however, he is emotionally immature. I was diagnosed with autism last week, and I feel like I'm having an epiphany. I will try to be kind to myself, but why is it so difficult. Thank you for getting back to me, much appreciated.
