Guys I was just hit with a wave of emotions last night. Starlet is such a good kid and he tries so hard. He really cares about us and about his impact on the world, and about his future. Everyone said adopting a teenager would be hard, but honestly, the hardest part is just dealing with the system. Starlet himself is so easy to parent.
Mr. Star, Star Sister, Starlet, and I have a DND campaign going, and we get to spend so much time bonding over our silly fantasy world. It’s nice to have an activity to do together as a family.
Having such a good, strong family of my own has given me the strength to break away from my extended family, who are mostly prejudiced jerks who don’t understand how a “woman” and a “gay man” can ever be happy together, and think I’m ruining my life and the family reputation.
That’s awesome that you play together! That’s so important. I used to play games with my stepdaughter but got frustrated and stopped because she cheats in every game which gets old fast. We did just get a gaming system though. Hopefully we can all play with that.
Awesome. So you are a different family, who cares? You are still a beautiful family. That is the most important thing. The connection you have for each other is grounded with love.
Yeah, I really like the life I’ve carved for myself here. All the younger trans kids in the area have sort of latched onto me as a replacement parent, and I’m glad I can provide love and support to them when they need it.
Rock on Ninja! You’re my favorite Star. I’d carve your name in a sidewalk if I could. I love hearing success stories about you and the rest of your Stars. Kudos to you guys!
You can love people who aren’t blood relatives. I have no doubt my son’s stepmom loves him. She has a bad temper though… she’s like six feet and built big so when she yells it’s scary
