I am a different person in 4 weeks !!!!!!

[Angela d'Evial]

Four weeks ago I registrerd on this site ,with shaking hands wrote my first thread. I was still deep in the closet for 45 years.
In this period my wife went on vacation for 2 weeks. Party time !!!! After writing some more threads and getting all this encouraging posts , I decided to show some non recognizeable pictures.
My increasing acceptance gave me the courage to tell my son, my daughter and finally my wife. I cryed after telling my wife because she was so supportive that she even wanted to see my pictures on the PC. I could not expect this in my wildest dreams. We joked about her old clothes that I saved out of the garbage bags.
I joined the local social group and posted some pictures on this site ( see pictures thread).

Still a bit scared that somebody will recognize me locally , but from the other side "I am who I am" and if my wife accept it who cares.
I hope it will not backfire on me !
The next obstacle is to tell my youngest son. He has always an opinion about other people and he certainly will not hide it ! I got the support of the family if he has a problem with it. Thanks everyone for the support.

THIS SITE HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY !!!!!!!!

[Frankie-Dear]

Wonderful. Congratulations....

I'm not telling my daughter ANYTHING!! (Although last night, she was helping my wife fold laundry, and my daughter picked up a pair of my panties and said, "These are pretty big!" My wife said she came within millimeters of telling her, "Those belong to your father.") LOL:heehee:

OMG im so happy for you!!! How did you tell her??? please share with that, so others can see how you did this :) how you went about telling her. I know a lot depends on the SO, and weather she can accept it or not, but i think a lot depends on how you open up to them when you tell them as well :)

Please share

Im so glad for you !!!!

Achnes, I look forward to catching the next thread of your story. Very brave of you to be so forthcoming.. I may be following you route soon,
But in the meantime, there are a few sales on at Melanie Lynns in Edmonton centre, so I may just have to upgrade my wardrobe before hand. All the best and thankyou very much for sharing

[Veronica 1]

Way to go, gurl. It is awsome that you have so much support. they must love you very much, as you do them.

[TxKimberly]

[paulaN]

Damn girl, from the closet right to the runway. way to go.

[Angela d'Evial]

I was surprised to see how a thread of June came to live in August.

In the mean time all my kids now know it and as far as I know accepted it.
My SO calls home before she comes earlier as told. She doesn't want to see me dressed . My daughter calls if she comes with my granddaughter.
My heels are now beside my wifes on the shoe rack in the closet.
I must say so far I am a changed person.
Thanks again for all the support

Achnes:happy:

[Charleen]
