Well, I don't want to get into all that has happened, because you all know already, but for Hypers' sake, I'll just keep it short... or try to, at least.
When I came out to my mom, I was already in therapy for anger issues. I told my fist MHP, who transferred me to one who he thought was more knowledgeable then him, but this one wasn't good neither, who put me on meds that made me worse. After about 3 other MHPs, that he had me see, he decided to bring in an org that worked with ppl with disabilities, that also had an attraction/interest in children.
After being with him, I decided to stop taken my meds, therefore, had to discontinue seeing the other MHP (he wouldn't stay with me without me on the meds, plus I wanted to drop him). This MHP/case worker, who stayed with me for over two yrs just so he could understand me better, was very understanding and non-bias that actually drove 4 hrs every mouth to visit me (plus other clients he had in same city.
He had to get permission to keep seeing me every so often from his bosses. This therapy really helped me understand things better, got to talk to another person about tons of out issues we face and out of importance to us. Plus, I feel really helped my mum too.
In the beginning, at first, mum didn't really trust me around any children, but today, and this past years she's gotten more comfortable with me helping her with Brownies, GirlGuides etc knowing I'll around kids. She doesn't accept the way I am, but does love me, and knows I'd never do anything that may make any child feel nervous. Now my sis and mum can even talk with me about certain issues/topics, more-so mum with her BF because he's the one who usually saves me local news articles of interest. Sis and I can also somethings have talks about AoC, laws, CP etc.
As others have said, known that your child should be enough.. at least, that's the way I see it. I have been very lucky that my she has/hasn't disowned me now or from the start. I feel, however, it maybe diff for other fam members i.e. not the same, so thus why I've yet to come out to any of them yet...
Hope this fines you or anyone, for that matter well and if not then I guess oh well.. Hugs!
