Had a great day... finally

[Jaclyn]

I've been struggling with a lot of emotions lately, like shame, self hate and depression. Yesterday I had a long awaited appointment with my therapist. One of the things we discussed was coming out to my mom, she told me to consider the worst that could happen and decide if I could live with it. I left feeling better. I decided to call my mom and invite her to dinner and talk. It went great she was totally understanding and excepting. We talked for hours, best talk I've with my mom in years. I even showed her pictures of the daughter she didn't know she had. LOL
After I left I was feeling so good that I found a close by wig shop and went in.
The store was empty and the SA was say can I help you?
Me: I like to look at your wigs.
SA: after a pause... for you or someone else?
Me: for me
SA: another pause... Are you looking for toupees?
Me: no your wigs
SA: OK I wasn't trying to be rude I just want to make sure.
SA: Let's pick a few out and then you can try them on.

Me: Pink Fog Heaven

After about 45 minute I left with a perfect wig.


And that ladies was one of the best days I've had in awhile.

Hi Jackie, It really sounds like it was a win-win day for you.
I'm so happy to hear that your mom was ok with that.
I always love going wig shopping it some takes an hour and a half to find the right one
the lady said that she has a lot of male customers buying female wigs.

Good experience Jackie - great for you to find out you have a fully accepting mother...

And a nice idea to celebrate that with a perfect purchase.. now you can always be reminded of the day...

Im so happy it went smoothly. Im sure it was nerve racking to take that first step. May i ask why you wanted to tell her?

[Jaclyn]

Hello Hope,
I've been feeling a lot of shame, guilt and disgust lately. My therapist and me felt that I was ready for this and that it would help me accept who I am. Also I hate that I have this secret that I keep from everyone. I'm nowhere near ready to come completely out of the closet, but telling first my wife (about 7 months ago) and now my mom is 2 really big steps for me.

p.s. I'm in no way trying to convince or encourage anyone to do something that they're not ready for. My situation and result may not be the same as yours. Be careful, it's a big life altering decision.

I'm sure most of us feel the same sort of emotions. I'm happy that your mother was so accepting. My girlfriend had been really great when I came out to her. It really feels like a tremendous weight has been lifted from you.

Jackie,
You got the wig fitting right and your mother seems on side, now take the rest of the steps carefully and don't mess it up...
As Ru Paul would say.

Well my perfect weekend is coming to an end

Last night I dressed up completely. Make up, nice outfit, forms, wig, and favorite heels. Then had a fun photo-shoot with the wife.

I was in pink heaven all weekend.

So now I'm going to take a hot bath, shave and then back to drab.
