Hi! I’m in a similar situation, too; just coming to terms with the realization in my 40s that I’m trans and struggling with the impact it’s going to have not only on me, but also on my spouse and child, and confronting fears about the state of the country and the world and all the hate out there. I haven’t found the courage to tell anyone other than my spouse, my therapist, and a few of my online friends yet. My spouse is trying to be supportive, but she’s also feeding some of those fears by speculating about how my parents and her parents might react, etc.
