Ive been on e for 6 years and prog for a number of months. I had read without prog you can experience weaker bones as you age in a study and wanted to try it. I cant really say if i feel better or worse from it emotionally but i think my breasts have gotten a little bigger. It’s a naturally occuring hormone so i think it makes sense for hrt.
You just have to forgive their ignorance of your perspective and find new family to help you fufill your emotional needs. At least your dad sounds awesome! Mine both suck.
