My mom is so attached to how I should look that the first time I shaved my undercut she cried to the point of being sick… eventually I just said ‘you know this is weird, right?’ I was in my early 40’s and finally leaving the conformity behind…

Unfortunately my parents followed the advice of James Dobson with the whole spare the rod spoil the child. thankfully my parents have since realized the error in those teachings and have sought to make amends. Especially since I came out as transgender

I sent this to my wife, because when she tells me what she went through with parents, it's tramaticly devastating.
she asked me on the regular "what was is like having parents that actually loved you."
