Today my wife asked me if we could tell her mom about me. No time like the present, right? So my wife called her mom and asked her to stop over tonight so we could talk. Her mom was worried about what we were going to talk about so she convinced my wife to just tell her over the phone. My wife told her mom that I was a cross-dresser and would be taking steps to become more physically feminine. This was the best way to explain it to her since they really wouldn't understand Transgender and they have a friend who is a cross-dresser. Her mom's response: "Oh we know that." Really? Is everyone just waiting for me to admit it to them? Were they just waiting for me to acknowledge the elephant in the room? I'm so happy. A huge weight has been lifted. I can be myself at home now (my in-laws live next door to us - we share a duplex). No more hiding my painted toes. No more taking off the bra to remove any show of breasts. No more having to hide wearing a skirt. No more changing to more boyish shoes.
Next step is telling my parents. We will be doing this on Sunday. I'm very nervous about that, but hope I get the same response that I've been getting from everyone else. Everyone has said they already knew and have been very accepting and supportive.
Just wanted to congratulate you on your progress. Be proud! What you're doing takes enormous courage. Be sure to stop every once in a while to remind yourself how far you've come already.
