A story of dramatic transition - in many ways
submitted by Barb Clark-Elliot, Seattle PFLAG Chapter/Renton Support Meeting
 
About a year ago, a mother came to a Renton PFLAG Support meeting.  Her daughter had told her that she was in the process of transitioning to identify as male.  The mother was having a really hard time understanding and coming to terms with this dramatic change and she put together a series of emails between mother and son.... to help him understand her feelings, and perhaps others going through the same journey.  I have shared this (with permission) at our information tables with those who are interested.
 
Today I received this updated "Things I Know - A Year Later."  I am sharing with you in case you are or know of someone who is working through this same kind of transition.  It shows what a difference time can make in one's level of acceptance and understanding to reach a comfortable place.  I think it's a wonderful illumination of how the process can work when families love each other and have some patience with each other - no matter the differences.
 
I've asked the author for permission to copy and share her updated treatise.  Click on the link below:
