I have to change my name. No one knows I’m leaving everything behind. My beautiful wife sits in the kitchen with our incredible minded children. God I love them but I have to leave no matter what. My wife smiles at me and she wants me to sit down and have coffee with her. Sadly I couldn’t because I was leaving in that moment. I smiled back at my wife for the last time. Hopefully one day she could forgive me for this. I tell her I have to go but the kids run up to me and they want to go to the park. I felt tears in my eyes but I knew I had to leave. I told my kids that I love them and I had to go to work. It was a lie of course but they understood. I looked at my family one last time and I left out the door. I could never tell them why I left without a trace especially my wife. She would cry If I told her I wanted to restart my life as a woman.
