I struggle with gender dysphoria. I'm not sure if I will be able to transition, I have a family that I feel will crumble if I transition. For a while I thought that if I transition it isn't my burden to carry the guilt of the aftermath for my family. I still believe that to be true, but I love my family so much that I think I have to carry this burden so that it doesn't hurt anyone else. I worry though that I am poisoned and it'll seep out and do slow but certain damage over the years that make it worse than "paying" for it upfront. To be more specific we have children and so this would include divorce. I don't know that anyone will have any advice but I'm hoping that by posting this I feel better having expressed myself.

I'm in a similar boat. Married for 15 years and we have two children. I think it's important to treat any trauma or dissociative tendencies before jumping into transition. I'm currently working through cptsd with EMDR therapy and focusing on that. If I still have a string dysphoria when treatment is done, I'll explore that more

Find your closest alliances and reach out. Don't worry about others for they will be your heartache. Your heart, health, and mind is way more important than the opinion of others. I had family disown me and treated me like crap.

@AnnetteSmit I'm sorry. I hate how people don't seem to understand us to the point where we're expected to hold our breath. I never really understood how hate for others worked or the impact of the hatred. I don't understand how they are unwilling to see themselves in the mirror. They've already decided to demonize others without good reason.
