Inspiring comment. You know, for eons (and still, somewhat today) people in horrible marriages would stay together "for the children." Maybe a laudable sacrifice, but it turns out that it screws up the kids worse than divorcing and getting into healthy relationships, because kids learn about relationships from watching their parents.
I feel like that's analogous to a non-binary or trans parent keeping their true self hidden to protect the children. I don't think it's been studied, but I think it's very likely that a similar thing would happen and the kids would be better off being with parents who love themselves for who they are.
So good job, I think you're doing the right thing.
Very interesting analogy that is certainly of the same mindset. It may feel "best" or "most appropriate" to avoid a disruptive or countercultural change, but it won't ultimately be for the benefit of anyone. All that it would create is a slow burn of regret and animosity for oneself and those whom you were trying to put first. Life is hard, might as well make it worthwhile! Thanks for the validation and likewise to yourself, I wish you all the best.
