My name is Katherine (given is Ken). I live in NC, but am presently working overseas. I'm 50ish and am once again on my journey to be a more complete woman. I've seen a therapist several years ago, took my wife to the last session, but never went on from there. Still feeling guilty about doing this to her. I know others have been, or are, going through this as well.
I've spent much of my life doing the "manly" things to force myself to be what I am physically (and still doing so). It never works-can't change what's on the inside. I'm so frustrated and beside myself and know I have to move on. Anyway, here I am checking out the site, looking for more information, and hopefully meet a few local girls to talk and share with. This looks like a great site that I can really enjoy. Somewhere along this journey I'll find what it takes to break free and finally be the women I truly am...

Hi and welcome to TW. I'm not too far away from you down in Savannah, GA. Finding a way to deal with this when you have a family is probably the biggest struggle we face in our lives. It sounds like your wife is aware of your condition and whether she accepts it at this time or not is actually a positive thing. She knows and that is one enormous hurdle you have crossed. I know you are 55 and maybe feel like life is passing you by but change takes time. I love my wife dearly and it was difficult in the beginning for her but now our relationship is better than it had been in decades. It can be done. I wish you the best on your journey and hope to chat with you soon here at TW.
Hugs,
Marsha

Hi All,
Thank you all for the welcome. Coming out to my wife and going through the required therapy sessions happened about the same time back in '95 or '96. Took her to the last session as my therapist required. My transition stopped after that. Too much guilt. Anyway, I'm back on my journey again, have a new therapist to see when I return home (my last one is retired now) and will start hormones shortly. Still a long way to go. I see that this site has quite a bit of information to offer and I hope I will be able to contribute in some way. Again, thank you.

Hi Katherine, and welcome to the site. I'm glad you like what you have seen so far, it really is a good source of infomation as well as friendships, and no doubt you will be making lots of friends here soon. Hope to see you around the forums in the future. If you haven't done so already, make sure you pop into chat as well, you'll find we're a friendly bunch here.
