I am a child (well I am 25) of a transgender parent. My mom, left when I was 17, and I found her when I was 24 last year. I was so excited to tell her about her first grandchild and instead found out this whole other world I never even thought could happen. I only saw about it on TV so to speak. I had the hardest time accepting it. I thought all my life someone said this is a cat, this is a cat this is a cat, and now, its a dog. No.. its a cat. a cat cannot turn in to a dog. So I have tried to accpet that my mom is now a man, but I still see my mom. You would never he used to be a woman. But I still see my mom, He will always be my mother. So now, my mother (parent) has fallen in love with someon e inthe same situation. A man who is now a woman. My mom purposed and she said yes. So now I will have two transgender parents. I need to find support over all this and don't know where to go. I am now a mother myself. I have a nearly two year old and am having another one in January. How do I even explain this to my kids when I am having a hard time explaining it to myself? I am starting out trying ot understand all this. I am a child (well I am 25) of a transgender parent.
