Subject: Transgender Husband?

My husband of 6 years has just come out as being transgender. He was diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder by 2 therapists, but he feels it's transgender and has gotten 2 more opinions that agree with him. He is to have testing soon to see if that better diagnosis things. I believe he is DID...I see the changes and different personalities, but he completely disagrees with me. He has 4 young children, and to complicate things his ex-wife is lesbian and has a lesbian live-in partner...however the kids don't "know" she is gay. We share custody. I am sad, lonely and confused, but more concerned for how the kids will take this - not only do they have a lesbian mom (not that that is bad, it's the secrecy/denial of the relationship), but now their dad wants to be a woman. He is attracted to women, and he thinks I just accept this and we go on. The problem for me is that I am not gay and not attracted to women...he claims to not understand that. I would love to hear from anyone else that has a transgender spouse and family. Thank you.
