I wrote about telling my mom about my crossdressing about two months ago. The full story is here.
Since then it's been great. About two weeks after telling her, I got an incredible package from her in the mail of 'castoffs', gifts that never found a home, or stuff that was just never worn. It was 3 scarves, 2 shirts, a belt, a pin, about 8 rings, 10 bracelets, a little cosmetics bag and something like 20 necklaces. Very nice stuff too.
I jokingly 'thanked' her since it will make me take even longer to get ready because now there are so many more choices. It really takes me away from (mostly) straight silver jewelry and into a world of color. It proved true the next time I was headed out as I debated over jewelry for a long time.
A few weeks ago she came for the holidays and brought gifts then too. I got a little silver 'B' necklace and a great makeup kit. We went out to lunch and talked a bit more about crossdressing and had a great conversation. She asked if I needed a winter coat and when she got home she sent me a full length wool/cashmere coat. The sleeves were a bit short, but it's a very nice coat and I might get to wear it out tonight.
All-in-all, a pretty amazing reaction.
