This family photo looked completely different two years ago.
That’s
because Roxy Wallace, pictured far right, used to be a burly bodyguard called
Bob.

The 50-year-old suffered severe depression which pushed her away from his
son William.
She enjoys cross-dressing
and one day opened up to her wife of 20 years, Jo.
Roxy explained she wanted
to live as a woman and – with the support of Jo – is currently undergoing
hormone treatment and is scheduled to have surgery later this year.
Her
new lease of life has lifted her depression and allowed her to form a loving
relationship with nine-year-old William.
William
said: ‘I love my second mummy so much. I never want my daddy back.’
Call centre worker Jo has
stuck by the person she married, in 1995, and now the pair are in a lesbian
relationship, and still live in their marital home in Church down,
Gloucestershire.
Roxy
said: ‘My biggest fear was pushing my family away – but my depression was so
bad that’s what I was doing anyway. I just didn’t realise at the time.
‘My
family have been so supportive of me, and it’s helped me grow and improve as a
person. I now feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
‘Not only has my amazing
wife stood by me, but my son and I are closer than ever.’
She
continued: ‘When I was Bob, William was so closed off but now he calls me mummy
Roxy and is so much more affectionate and cuddly.
‘I
feel so blessed to have such a fantastic family.’
