well, the door to my old job has closed. No chance to go back. To add to my stress, I got an email from my brother that really set me back. Its hard to keep from being discouraged with all these setbacks.

Dorothy, my sisters are all younger than me,
and I was always there for them and my birth mother no matter what htey did to me. But they won't speak to me, because not do they think I abandoned them as their brother, but becaus of my bio about what our birth mother did to me when my first sister was only 2 years old. I am still trying to get them back in my life, but I am not stressing about it because I know they are going by what our birth mother told them about me. Remember that back in those years little or nothing was known about transsexuals and most people didn't care to know just they don't care today.
Chin up girl, because there are other jobs out there, even if you have to move to get one where they will accept you or at leasttolerate you. Please remembe that the onlyperson that counts in your life, is you. Take care girlfriend, and remember that someday the world, while they may never understand us, they will accept us. We will never see that day, but it is coming.
"With confidence and forbearance, we will have the strength to move forward."
Love & hugs,
Barbara

I'm sorry that things aren't working out.
Unfortunately, I'm too chicken to talk to my siblings (a brother and two sisters-I'm the oldest) or my Mom. I have a real good idea of how they would react if they met Wren, and it definitely ain't good. No it's not about religion-they are, sorry to say, a bit too conservative (kinda rednickish, in some cases). No, that wouldn't go well.
I wish I could be there for you. You are in my prayers, though!

It's a bastard!
When nobody in the family will support you. You find yourself losing friends and family left right and center but the one thing that you can be fairly certain of is that you find out who your true friends were ... the ones who stick by you. Unreserved support and friendship. If you do have friends standing by you at least you have found some diamonds amongst the clay.
Sadly even this can be denied sometimes and for those, this site accrues enormous value as we go forward in our lives.
Good luck in finding your new job.
Love and hugs,
OXOXOXOXOXOX
