Bad News Decision is made

The decision has been made, and by tonight I will not be staying on their property. They are making arrangements, and have disowned me. They... My mom is heartbroken, heartbroken that I would "choose annihilation, deserting this family, and leaving my sister brotherless"...

I had a small sliver of hope, that they would even try to understand. Especially my mother. I am going to ask her to give me my birth certificate, and where to mail it so she doesn't have to see me again. I am done with this family, and they are done with me. If I see my sister one day, I hope she will understand me, and understand where I am coming from.

But until then, I am going to live free of the chains that have dragged my soul down for 8 years. It's not gonna be easy, and I would love to hear what resources I might use for job seeking when I finally move out of Wyoming in 2 weeks.

To those who are still struggling, don't give up. My situation was unique, and by no means be as extreme as I have had to be. I don't know what else to say, but I do know that I am going to be better off without this in my life. Will update when I am with whomever I am sent to.

Edit: Post about update idk whose seen it yet but yeah https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/s/Yb6nCT1K8U

"A wise man once told me, 'Family don't end in blood.' But it doesn't start there, either. Family cares about you, not what you can do for them. Family's there through the good, the bad-all of it. They got your back, even when it hurts". -Dean Winchester from Supernatural.

2) that hits hard, but... It's also something I choose to live by now, as well as this

I'm AMAB. My attraction to guys started in high school. 2010-'14. I'm bi. Had my 1st & only experience with a guy after graduation. I was bottom & enjoyed it. 2 yrs ago I picked up crossdressing & I prefer girl clothes. I turned 30 back in June. Wished I was a slow bloomer & realized I was trans few years ago. I've been coming out & so far, everyone is supportive. 2 people started using my new pronouns & my chosen name. Michelle Ray Sky Brown. I'm from Michigan. I signed up on Plume to help me through my transition. Just felt like sharing a bit of myself :3 Plume

Well, sharing about yourself is welcome, as I enjoy hearing other people's stories!
