What's on my mind
(Trigger warning: abuse)
I'm a little apprehensive about going to Colorado for Christmas to see my family. My family hasn't seen me since I started my physical transition from F to M and I'm anxious about how they'll react. Although one of my brothers is very supportive, the rest of my family is struggling and hasn't spoken to me in over a year.
I have a particularly strained relationship with my parents, as there was a lot of abuse while I was growing up. Now that I have a goatee, sideburns and my physical transition is quite noticeable, I'm afraid that they will be physically abusive with me again. I only see my family once every couple of years, but my Mom still hits me from time to time. I would never hit my Mom and I've never called the police over it. I don't like it but I don't know what to do about it.
My stomach is all tied up in knots.
