My parents divorced. My mother's side was Filipino and Catholic but my father was closer to vaguely spiritual in a pagan healing crystal way. Interestingly, my mother accepted my transition since she partially believes I'm the reincarnation of my deceased older sister (she miscarried) yet my father was just the usual transphobic dad of the 2010's. A case where the one who should be transphobic is accepting yet the one who should be accepting is transphobic.
I lived with my mom and her side of
the family until maybe 13. It was that Filipino-Catholic style of Catholic where they sucked at going to church, we had a shrine in our lounge we made offerings to every morning for my deceased grandmother, and it was just a vague "I believe in God and call myself Catholic now watch me be vaguely asian christian and believe in stuff that is incompatible
with Catholicism (reincarnation, for instsnce)" I was always atheist. Call me pragmatic, but growing up in a shithole suburb with high crime rates will do that.
As an adult, having come out to my father and gotten my identity rejected, I moved back in with my mom which is where I stay to this day.
My dad still uses my old name. The fact he wont shut up about muslims and neighbourly property disputes is why I don't visit him much though.
I have word count free so I may as well further describe life in the present. While I have a long string of ex boyfriends, my last bf put me off men with his household messiness, so I only like women now. My mom accepts my situationship with my ex girlfriend I have going on and I have a very cuddly romantic friendship (wikipedia the term romantic friendship) with another woman who is very dear to me. My ex and I might get back together later (months or years) since we were the right people for eachother at the wrong time. Studies are good and I'm looking for work. It worked out, kinda.
