E-mail sent . . .

. . . a few minutes ago.

My wife commented last night that she thought I would have gone to the DC pride, but I had other commitments.

Then she asked last night why I hadn't told our daughter yet.

So a few minutes ago, I sent my daughter an email.

Now it wasn't fully disclosing, and only said: "Here's a picture of a relative your mother thought you should meet." And included a head shot similar to my avatar.

Good luck Donna, I hope there is a positive reply to the e-mail. Fingers crossed.

Right now I'm wondering if she'll recognize me or simply ask who it is.

[Tamara Croft]

Good luck Donna...... do you look very different without wig/make-up?? My daughter didn't recognise Tammy..... didn't believe me that it was her :D

Good luck to you Donna, hopefully you won't need it. It seems that the younger generation has alot fewer hang-ups about this sort of thing. Hopefully she'll pretty much take it in stride!

Remember the Post we had and the boy answered I love you? There is no change in Love and Attitude in young People I believe. What ever you are she will always love you. You was very brave to do this and I wish you well.

Thanks for the support everyone. So far no response to my email. Don't even know if she's read it yet.

I normally wear glasses, so I do look quite different from my avatar, sans wig and makeup.

[Tristen Cox]

Keep us updated when you hear back from her Donna. :Power:

LIARS! :D My Avatar does not pass!! :p

My daughter was on the phone with my wife this evening. We are planning a trip to TX for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary.

My daughter does not want to go. She was in "heated conversation" with my wife and commented that she wasn't interested in seeing that side of the family, especially the "drag queen" :D

She thought it was an uncle or something.

So, my question is, why did she say "drag queen"? What tipped her off that the picture was a male in a wig and makeup?

Anyway, the good news is/was, she didn't recognize me.
Which is why she didn't repond to my email.

In response to her drag queen remark, my wife said that it wasn't a cousin nor an uncle. That's your father.

My daughter and I have yet to talk about it, but it's coming.

[Olivia]

Good luck Donna! It's gonna be ok, you'll see. Love, Olivia.

[Julie]

Sorry to hear that Donna. As for your daughter saying "Drag Queen" it could simply be a label she puts on anything CD related.

I notice you don't say what she said after making that remark and then being tipped off by your wife.

Maybe when you and your daughter do have that talk things might be a little fraught, even so she now has time to reflect and I feel things might just be OK in the long term.

Good luck (again)

~Julie~

[RachelDenise]

Good luck with your daughter. Remember that she loves you and hopefully all will be OK> You also have a powerful ally on your side, your wife/her mother. Don't underestimate that importance!

[pantylover1]

There is nothing wrong with your avatar you look lovely, and as far as your daughter goes I'm sure she will come around I've noticed the younger generation seem more accepting to cd'ers maybe its a sign of things to come. Keep the faith Donna


Big Hug Bernice P

[Tristen Cox]

You've got your work cut out for you Donna. Hope it goes well when you two get to talking and the truth comes full circle. Keeping fingers crossed :hugs:

[rubydiamond]

Donna,

I have watched your responses to others on this site and I believe you have always "made sense" and gave good advice. Listen to your heart and your head...I know you will make the right decisions.

Thanks everyone.

I don't know what she told my wife after the revalation, but I think it was something like "Don't even go there!" :D My wife says that all the time, so I can't be sure.

Maybe my wife will read this and (finally post to) correct me?! :thumbsup:

I think (hope) the "drag queen" remark was made due to the argument they were having, and her thinking it was someone on my wife's side of the family. She must have a "trans-dar". Last year she used the term he-she when she pointed out someone to me she thought was crossdressed in a restaurant. I couldn't tell.

Well, once we get to have that talk, she'll get a bit of an education on the transgendered.
