Dear Eden - it sounds as though you have a very deep understanding of the situation. Thank you for both the support and the rich advice - some days are indeed difficult and complicated but most days I find happiness in my skin (which I consider fortunate). I wish you the very best in your journey as well. As you so wisely put, this experience is but a story and I hope yours continually finds happy endings within yourself and with your loved ones. Sincerely, Dave
