actually, i’ve been a little worried about sybil - she hasn’t posted and i haven’t heard from her.

i don’t associate with either fathers or mothers day - why isn’t there a parents day? i call my mom and dad, and send them cards on their respective days, but i have issues with my own relationship with my son, so i tend to avoid dwelling on it - it just hurts too much. unlike michelle, i can’t just let the past be the past. though i don’t know what the result of that is.

and yes, it’s confusing, and i don’t know that i’ll ever come to terms with being his father since my transition. i like to think of myself as his parent, but there’s no getting around the fact that i’m his dad.

You associate with Father’s Day and not Mother’s day? I guess so, because you’re not his mother. That’s interesting, maybe a little confusing. I wish yours had been better, did you at least get a phone call?
And have you heard from Sybil at all? Jeesh..

Hugs to you, Nexy. I hope that your relationship does take that next step someday.

I guess it’s been about a year and a half since I last saw my son, on his sixth birthday. I still think of him from time to time, but for me, it’s better to just let the past be the past.

thanks. when he started writing back a couple years ago, i saw that as a giant step. i’m hoping he just needs a little more time for the next step.

I’m so sorry.
I had a rough Father’s Day coming from the other end, as a daughter, but–yeah. I’m just sorry. I hope it gets better with a little more time.
