Last week I started a thread about telling my children. Well, I did and here’s what happened. First a little background.
I have three sons, ages 30, 28, and 24. When the first was born, we decided to not tell them, mostly out of fear they would tell someone at school and would get picked on. Then it was just easier to not tell. But this means there have been many occasions when I would have liked going out, but had to change plans as one of them was at home. They all three had moved out for a short while. But about a year ago, the middle son moved back in with us. He is a computer programmer for a company that sells robotic equipment. Most days he is out of the house, and some days travels to other places where he sets up equipment and is gone for a few days.
Last week my wife and a couple of her friends planned an all girls Friday shopping trip and asked if I wanted to go too. Of course I did! They all know of Stephanie. But my son planned to work that day for home, so, Thursday night I decided to tell him.
He really took it quite well. I told him that on some days I like to wear women’s clothes. He said “OK”. I told him a little more, and he said “OK” a couple more times. He did ask if his mom knew, and I told him yes, she had always known. And that was it. No fireworks, no problems, nothing. I should have never worried.
The next morning, about the time I started to get ready, he got a call from work and he had to go in after all. I was home and changed before he got back, so he still hasn’t seen Stephanie yet. I’ll keep you posted. Thank you all for your input, Steph!
