Hey @Nemo1, thank you for sharing your experiences with the community!

 

It sounds like you are going through an understandably tough time with your family. I think anyone in your situation would be unclear on how to approach telling your son. You are very resilient in having carried this for so long and brave to reach out for support in the Forums.

 

I have not experience anything like your situation, but I totally get what you said about the lack of information and having to potentially go to a library in the 70's. I am transgender and had the same experience of being young and scared to research it at the library and there being a lack of information around. I get that part, and you can't hold it against yourself as it was a different time and yes you were young.

 

I encourage you to continue to reach out to your peers here on the Forums as there may be someone who has experienced something similar. I wish the best of luck in letting your son know this news and hope it turns out for the best.

 

Take care
