Just what I needed

Starting to explore a support system for myself as the single parent of a non-binary transgender. This book allowed me to identify and validate some confusing feelings. It’s a great start to my transition!

Highly recommended for parents who have a trans child going through transition or a child who is coming out as nonbinary. Aimed at parents who have a child of any age, from adolescent to older, mature children in their 40s and 50s. Lots of good practical advice about all aspects of what can be a very painful life and relationship transition.
