coincidentally I was caught last night
Though I have had several very close calls, I have been caught only a couple of times. Once was on the occasion of my very first venture into the world of crossdressing. I have related this in previous posts. It happened when I was seven, and I tried on one of my mother's girdles that was hanging on a line in our basement to dry. I don't know why, but I tried it on, and within moments of my getting it on, my mother came down the stairs and caught me wearing it. In a calm, non-threatening voice, she said, "what are you doing?" In a kid-like fashion, I said, "Nothing." She turned around and went back upstairs, and I took off the girdle and went outside (or upstairs or something that I don't really remember). I do know that my mother never said another word about it.
Now, over fifty years later, I was caught by the state police. I was driving home from a business trip in a company car. The car had one headlight out. I had taken advantage of some time away from my hometown to dress and do some shopping en femme. At about 9 pm, I drove past a state patrol car. The officer noticed the light problem and pulled me over.
He came up to my car door, greeted me, and asked for my driver's license. I gave him the license, he gave me a friendly "heads up" that I had a light out, checked my license, and let me go.
The more I go out, the less I think about getting caught. Or perhaps I have come to some conclusions about what I'm doing that have turned a new attitude in me. Since I'm not doing anything illegal or immoral, there is nothing to catch (except by people from whom I have kept my crossdressing secret). There was a time in my live when being stopped by a police officer would have been totally devastating to me; now, unless I have done something heinous, I don't worry about it.
The police officer was very professional, and I'm grateful for that. My mother's non-response has always puzzled me a bit. But she did a few other puzzling things with me (nothing mean or abusive), so I'm perplexed about those too. She died about twelve years ago. I'll never know those answers.
My dad and my ex caught me
I'll try to keep this as clean as I can. WHen I was about 13 I was wearing a very ****ty outfit, heels, fishnets, lil black dress, I was enjoying myself as my father opened the door, apparently the lock decided to not hold up that day. Worst thing is I was filming myself with a camcorder when he walked in. Well he basically asked what the hell I was doing and told e to take it all off immediately and left the room. He came back in told me I better get rid of the tape ( I didn't) and he sat down next to me, and in the nicest most caring voice I have ever heard from him, he said he used to do it too and that if I ever felt I wanted to that there was surgery available to become female and he would help me through it. Well of course being so young and the fact that to this day im not sure I want srs I said no I just do it for fun. Other times my mom has always found clothes in my room, she would just pull it out of its hiding place and leave it as if to say I know about your secret.
Another time, I was on my webcam in the kitchen dressed in a french maids costume, pretty provocative, showing off on cam, all of a sudden I heard keys at the door so before I could rush to the bathroom she had the door open and realized I had the chain on it and said wtf is this? I said hang on ran to the bathroom took everything off as quickly as possible and realized the best place I could hide everything was in a cooler we had drying off in the tub, I came back out and let her in, I just told her I really had to go to the bathroom, but before I had a chance to go in and hide the thngs she found them. She got extremely upset and thought it was her fault I dressed, saying she didnt satisfy me enough etc... she swore to me she wouldnt tell anyone and asked me to not do it, so I stopped for the rest of the relationship. We broke up a few months later cuz I moved out of state for school, to the best of my knowledge she never told any of our friends and I still talk to her from time to time.
