Coming out to my mom, wish me luck!

[Krista_CD]

I have been doing so much thinking lately and I have finally come to a firm decision. I'm going to tell my mom. I know she loves me and will support me 100%. I'm more anxious than worried because I know she will see me the way I see myself which is the sole reason I'm choosing her first other than some of my friends or my dad. I know they will support me as well but my mom has had an idea of it for a few years and knows of my tendencies. Although she does not know the degree. I know she will be the most supportive and actually be happy to see me happier being who I truly am than being who I was. Wish me luck ladies!:o

When I told my mom, she was very accepting in the fact that I was her son and she would love me no matter what. She has only seen me dressed once, for halloween...before I told her. Havent dressed in front of her since I told her

It sounds like everything will go smooth Krista. I wish you luck but I don't think you'll need it. You're fortunate,my Mom is a wonderful person but she thinks CD'ing is kinda strange and freakish and I don't think she'd ever learn to tolerate my CD'ing if I came out to her. True,she'd try to act like it didn't bug her. Oh well,I'm getting long-winded. Let us know how it goes,hun. Samantha

Hi Krista, wishing you Godspeed on that one. I came out to my mom back in April after a year of planning. This was the best time for me while my dad was out of town for 2 months. She listened and was surprised she knew as much about crossdressing and transgendered as she did (from watching much TV). We talked 3-4 more times, once as long as 3 hours on the phone about it. She said she wasn't exactly pleased to hear about it but knows that people are what they are and that can't be helped, that it is just a part of who we are. I asked her if she was shocked and she said "Yes and No, I 've heard everything from everybody in my 80 years of living." She was more concerned about my safety, almost like she was ok with it as long as I remained in the closet (which of course defeated the purpose of coming out).
I wasn't really planning on that April 24th phone call to come out. The impulse just hit. My mom knew I was going to seek counseling and when I brought up the subject of counseling that became the catalyst of which to reveal myself. I was very shaky, took a couple of deep breaths as deep as I could and said "I've crossdressed for many, many years." She got quiet for a few seconds and I asked her "Mom are you still there?" She said, "Yes, I am listening." I think she appreciated hearing it in that it explained why I have been antisocial, a recluse and bottled up my whole life. Good luck again Krista!

Krista, You will be so happy you did this. She will have questions so don't pull any punches. Tell her what you know, and if you don't know, tell her that. We'll be thinking of you and sending lots of positive energy.

Good Luck!

It felt awesome when I told my mom, it was kinda scary, but reliving all at once

I have GOT to echo what everyone else has said. Now, most of us who have had a "GOOD" response it has been most refreshing to have an ally in our endeavor. I wish you the best of luck on this.
