OFF TOPIC CONFESION
When I joined this Forum I had 2 daughters . I now have a daughter and a son . For those of you who understand about depression and what transgender means or refers to then you may understand . I always thought my little girl Emma should have been a boy , Now he is . We accept and support him in this. The only reason I am telling you all this is so I can now say my son and I without any sense of guilt . I guess I hope that you will accept me as one of your own .

You and he are alright by me. I gotta lot bigger fish to fry in my life. Getting hung up over someone else's personal (they are personal) decisions doesn't even hit my radar. Wish him my best and kudos to you for embracing them and being the loving father that you are. Happy Sunday!

I can't see how that would matter to us, it certainly doesn't matter to me. I understand what you're saying and I think you should be proud of your son for being who he wants to be and has the courage to stand up and be honest to you and himself. This issue is changing so fast in this country, and I think it's a good thing. Everybody is different and this is supposed to be a free country. As long as you don't hurt someone, it's ok. I think it's admirable of you to accept him as he is. IMHO you and your son are part of the FTE family. Some things in life are beyond our control. Then you got to accept it. Things work themselves out one way or another. Dean

The important question is; Does he love old trucks?
I can't imagine the struggles your family has gone through in this process. All the best to you and your son.
Now get out in the garage, work on your truck and show us pictures of your progress.

Allan, I agree with all that has already been said. "Live annd let live". I wish more people could live by those words. You sound like a very good man. Kudos to your son. Brian

Allan, I admire you and your son both. I do wish you both the best as you go forward with your lives, and remember that those who are not as accepting are not worth either of your concerns.
Depression is an insidious and hidden condition that can kill. Be aware and supportive always.

I hope I took that part out of context and you didn't seriously think you would ever not be welcomed here Allan.
