As many of you are aware, I am closeted. My daughter lives with me, and so I had to be very careful of what I left lying around, and especially anything that came to my residence that might give away the fact that I crossdress.
Some may also have read the thread that I posted in the Shopping Forum about my placing an order for some shoes, and being told by the vendor later that, no - it is not shipped by Canada Post, it is being sent by courier. In that thread, I debated how I could avoid having her being the one to receive the shoes, by having them be held at the local depot so that I could pick them up. A few suggestions were made about what I could do about the situation, when the shoes did arrive.
Well, as it turns out, the decision was made for me since (a) my daughter was the one to receive my shoe package and (b) what was in the box was described in perfect detail on the outside: the kind of shoe, that they were women's, and the size. My daughter phoned me at work to ask me about something else, and said, "Some shoes arrived for you. Um.....they're women's. They're...uh....heels. Is there something we need to talk about?"I told her that yes we would indeed talk about it when I came home, and she maintained her usual happy manner, and was not upset or anything negative. And of course I....and all of YOU....know perfectly well that 2 plus 2 does indeed make 4 and yes, a bear DOES *!@# in the woods!
So obviously....yes, she knew.
So tonight when I got home, we talked about all of it for a couple of hours, and I just told her everything. How long I had been dressing, how no one else knew, what I liked to wear and my fears about how I thought it might alienate us, or cause a rift between us. She and I are extremely close, and I wasn't sure about how she might look at the whole thing. She was absolutely wonderful and supportive in every way, and I was so pleased it had gone so well. I had dreamed of it being that way when I imagined telling her in my mind. We hugged at the end of it all, and I am feeling very good about the whole thing and finally not having to hide anything anymore.
Once she found out what everything was all about, the fact that I do this only in private and wasn't interested in being dressed around her, or going out that way, then she was perfectly comfortable with it. It was SUCH a huge relief to finally have it known to someone else, after all these years.
Oh....and the shoes? After all that? A PERFECT fit! Thanks for reading, everyone.
I believe I was a lesbian in a previous lifetime.
but I'm sure she would be okay with and even want to assist when you need it. 
If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:
