Hi Girls,
I've had a day out with my Mummy today, doing some essential bits and pieces (family stuff I'm not going into).
Anyway, it meant a 2 1/2 hours drive each way to South Wales. during the day I had a good chance to talk to Mum about this and that and, without any prompting or anything from me she was telling me about some more personal girly bits and pieces, habits etc. - things that there is know way she would have spoken to HIM about.
It's also the first chance I've had to spend time with her out in the big wide world, the middle of town where comments may be made about me and things like that and she was as relaxed as if she was with HIM.
Coming home I asked her if she was getting used to me having transitioned, added that it must be difficult for her having a son for 43 years and suddenly he is no more and she has a daughter instead, and she said that she is quite happy with me and my decision, although it is obviously going to take her a while to get used to my name, and she thinks Dad will take an age to get used to it (the name). Dad ALWAYS got my name and my brothers mixed up anyway and he's well into his 80's, so I'm not surprised that he may take a while and as I said to Mum, there is no way I'm going to push either of them because I don't feel it fair and I'd be surprised at his age if Dad ever got used to my name.
I feel I can conclude that Mum has accepted my transition. :) :thumbsup:
