Dear Janus:

It is amazing how critical and impatient your parents are. If only they didn’t yell at you, if only they were positive in their interactions with you, instead of negative- you wouldn’t be “too criticizing of (yourself)”. You would have peace within you instead of war. I wish they understood how badly they have been affecting you all these years, and change their ways!

Good to read from you, Janus. I do hope you will be able to see your gender therapist soon.

Please do-no-harm-to-yourself; be kind and gentle with yourself instead.
