Family

Having a supportive family is life-saving. If your family is not supportive, I love you. Sometimes our families aren't related to us by blood. Our true family is those who love and accept us for who we are. My chosen family helped me get through the period in my life when my blood family didn't understand my identity. It's going to take time for everyone to understand. Ask for patience, and try to be patient with each other. It truly does get better.
