(80) A Surreal Moment...

Had an awkward moment in the supermarket...
Bumped into an old neighbour who I lived next door but one too when I was married. Not seen her for ten years. I spoke to her and straight away she was asking how I was and how was 'Rach'.
This lady is now 80 and is still a neighbour of my ex husband. One part of me wanted to say, 'who'? I went along with the conversation and said how 'she' was doing really well at Uni and was presently in Jamaica. It's obvious that W's dad never mentions him as he chats with the neighbours all day to pass the time!
It felt surreal...

Not sure if I did the right thing, but felt I needed to protect W from anything negative his dad may have said to the neighbour if she had discussed it with him.
I have told a couple of people now, it would be unfair if they saw W and called him 'Rach' it's all on a, 'who needs to know' basis.

I can fully understand why many Trans people move away.
