When Corey House told her mum she was transgender, she finally felt free.
Born a boy, she was suddenly able to wear female clothes outside of her home and begin transitioning into the girl she felt she'd always been.
Her mother Erica was extremely supportive, even surprising the 14-year-old with her first box of oestrogen.
And now, it is Corey's turn to give back the support after Erica revealed she is also transgender and transitioning into a man.
The American dad-of-six, who now goes by the name Eric, realised he was 'born in the wrong body' at the same time as his daughter.
But despite the realisation four years ago, he decided to hide his true identity, while Corey started her own transition into a girl.
He finally came out to husband Les in 2015 after his daughter's transformation gave him the courage to let go of his "awful secret".
He later told the rest of his family, including children Chelsea, 22, Kailee, 14, Corey, Ellen, eight, Willow, six, and four-year-old Savanna.
Speaking to Mirror Online, Eric described how Les was incredibly supportive about his revelation.
"It was an awful secret to keep from my family," he said.
"My loved ones were awesome, almost like nothing really changed. My husband has been supportive through everything.
"Our relationship is actually stronger and better than it ever has been in the 10 years we've been together."
