Good news Cato. I hope your wife comes to fully accept your daughter and her partner. Grandkids may help. Best wishes.
I never had to go through the trauma of having my parents disapprove of something so essential to the core of my being as my gender identity. But I can tell you that the last time I cared what my parents thought, about anything, was 40 years ago, when I was 12. As a practical matter, I was compelled to obey them until I left home at 18 -- three weeks following my high school graduation. But I made the decision when I was 12 that I did not want or need their love or approval, and I was emotionally free from that point on to live life on my own terms.
Just so that there's no further commentary among those who may have seen Surewhitey's post before it was edited, let me affirm that I agree with the moderators and do not agree with Surewhitey's comments.[-][Surewhitey post #80][/-] (Moderator edit)
Sure gotta be fast around here to beat the moderators, but I guess [-]your[/-] [the moderators'] answer was much better than mine. Much more tactful, anyway...
