    I need help with a few key things, the biggest right now i am struggling with is what to have them call me when i have moved to full time status??



    i do not want to disrespect the mothers by using "mom"......i was thinking about "aunt stephanie" but my therapist was against that......



    any suggestions anyone could send my way would be GRATEFULly appreciated

    Stephanie,

    I waited until mine were grown ( 19 and 23 yrs old ) before i started openly around them. Both are very accepting, especially my youngest. Both call me Val and don't seem to have any problem with what I am doing. I am sure they knew years before, but i didn't want to cause any problems while they where still in school and all. It was hard waiting but i think worth it for them. It all depends on you're situation and your childern. I hope it goes well for you!

    *hugs*

    If I were you , Stephanie, I'd ask them to call me Stephanie.
