“Father asked to borrow $6,000”
My father has been in debt all his life, due to an old gambling addiction and from getting cheated of money. He no longer has that addiction however he is still constantly in debt.
Recently due to an incident which caused huge expenses for him, he’s asked me for $6000.

I support trans people and I support my husband being his/her true self but it’s so hard and I don’t know if I can do this.
I’m attracted to men especially the man I married but he’s going to be a woman now and I don’t find that attractive on a physical or emotional level so I feel really heartbroken and I don’t know how I’m going to explain it to our family, our friends or especially our children.
