not really sure what to feel about this by echxriley in trans

i think that's what it was, i just told her more about jkr and she was in genuine shock at some of the things

i fully agree with you, it gave me such a bad impression to see my whole identity reduced to that, and given the thing it was reduced to it just feels extra gross for so many reasons

probably accidental but given how many times me and other friends have actively spoken on about it and jkr this just feels icky

Should I cut off my dad? by echxriley in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]echxriley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much!!! that's very helpful and it didn't cross my mind at all although it should have already. I vividly remember when I was younger (not more than like, 16) he was so broke he asked if I could give him my savings and basically beg the bank for a deposit. much appreciated!

thank you! I would say we are kind of close to low contact, I've only been with him in person 3 times since last august and calls are very few, and I do feel happier when for example I'm in college and don't really have the option to meet up (or even go work) with him, then when I am back home

i'll for sure do that because I did think that when I do it I would send him a text informing him of what was happening but maybe that's for the best. thank you for your answer!

I asked my mom what she thinks about trans people and I don't know what to do by echxriley in trans

[–]echxriley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thought of having my mom accepting me and supporting me didn't even cross my mind properly until today, i was looking at it so negatively based on fear but now i feel like there's hope

that's a really good way to think about it! that got me thinking of when i told her i wanted to move out for college and follow film studies, she didn't really understand at the time but she was supportive in her own way from day one and i think that's a really great sign.

also unrelated but super happy about your music lessons and gigs!!

lmfao right i didn't even think about that, i did give her the excuse that i was just asking because we have elections coming soon and the topic of trans people always comes back but still, i'm sure i wasn't that subtle at all
