Hi,
I'm Karen. A 55 year old woman, married for 25 years. Three years ago, my husband was diagnosed as transgender. Changed his name, changed our life and our future.
We have created a new life - living separately - but happily. Or at least I am. Most of the time.
It is a life with many angles and complications. But it is a good life that could never have happened without the support and love of friends and family.
A recent article in the Globe reminded me of how important it is for all of us to share our story.
I will ask the author if I can publish her story here - and then I invite all of you wives and girlfriends - happy, depressed, angry, etc. Let's share stories and hopefully learn from each other.
