So I'm married, middle-aged, own my own house, etc. My father lives a few miles away and we've been trying to get him in the habit of of calling before he just stops over. Sometimes he does... sometimes not. I've had more than a few close calls and quick-changes.
I know that he has known SOMETHING since I was a teenager. He and my mom found a bag of clothes in my closet once. The bag got thrown out and he confronted me and I told him I was just 'experimenting'. That was probably 25 or more years ago.
Well, last weekend I got dressed to go out for a bit of shopping. Our house is on a dead-end road, so the most risky part of going out is running into somebody on that stretch of road. As I was driving out, a car passed me in the other direction on the narrow road. It wasn't until it had passed me and I saw it in the rear-view mirror did I realize that it was his car.
As long as the Sun wasn't reflecting off my windshield, he would have gotten a good close-up look at me in full makeup, earrings and hair curled and styled. He probably would also have had a good look at the top of the sleeveless floral print dress I was wearing, and even my painted fingernails.
This was last Saturday. I've been telling myself that maybe it wasn't him, or maybe he didn't notice. BUT he usually calls to talk every few days and I haven't heard from him since then. It has been 7 days.
Now I guess I'm just waiting to see what happens. I can't bring myself to call him, and I really can't imagine how the conversation will go if he calls me and wants to talk about it. I don't think he'd be mad as much as... he's just of the generation who has grown up not having to think about such things. I am at the point where I don't really try to hide my crossdressing much any more, but he is the one person who I'd have a problem 'coming out' to.
I think I'm just hoping he decides to not bring it up, and things can go back to normal. Maybe with the additional bonus that he'll start calling before he 'stops in'.
