I have been planning this for some weeks but it has proved difficult getting the 2 kids (aged 21 and 17) in the same room at the same time. Finally tonight at the dinner table I told them I something to discuss with them. Before I had chance to tell them they told me that they already knew! My son had seen an email and my daughter had found a wig. They are both totally cool about it and have no problems whatsoever. I feel as if I have been let out of prison after a very long stretch. I can now come and go as Tina whenever I want. I feel so liberated and wonder why I was getting myself into such a state. My daughter asked if it meant I was gay - no; and if that was the reason I was a good cook! I feel great and free!!!
