Forgiveness is a two way street. First forgive yourself first then who you want forgiveness from and if that doesn’t satisfy you just try to let yourself be forgiven.

The people who love you do so for who you really are; that is the constant. Trauma does such damage, the hurt spreading outward like rings in water. Healing is slow, but the determined press on to fuse the shattered pieces of your hearts into something stronger than before. Wendy is worth the journey 💕

You have written what every single trans woman or man has likely felt since whenever. You knew who you were-and lived a life you thought you were supposed to be. This should be published, in my opinion, to help others see the difficult task it is to become yourself. Please forgive yourself-every human probably feels guilty about something and thinks about it with regret. You are not alone in that-trust me. Know that what you have now is real and your relationship with Mary is turning a corner -helping her and you -see what you’ve been through. Breathe and smile!

Wendy, you are a strong woman who has survived trauma and a denial of your reality. Forgive yourself for the things you did while becoming. Hugs.
