Vevay, anything with you, from you, will be bliss. It already is so.
One thing more about this matter: anything I do to beat back what I've learned, I do because I want better for my son. What if he's like you, what if he knows himself to be a girl?
This is my child; he (or any pronoun) shouldn't be afraid to tell me these things. I never want Sergiy to think I would reject him for anything he feels.
That fear is a [...] stain inside me. I call it this because - eh, like a stain on the floor. It prevents nothing, but you see it every day. You know some value is lost. I don't want to place such a stain on him.
[...]
I think of it now, and I'll tell you this, Vevay: you are a second reason to "beat back" this belief of myself. Just as I wouldn't want to teach it to Sergiy, I don't want it to interfere with anything I have with you.
I never want you to think I'm not proud of you because of shame for myself.
I can't promise you no struggle - but also, I can't promise myself there will be any struggle at all. I see your messages and everything else falls away.
