I told My Dad I'm CD'ing

[Katie Ashe]

After much long debat... I told my Parents tonight (Real Dad & Step Mom). I was pretty scared. After all the horror stories I read about, I darn near had an ulser leading up tonight. I broken the news to him and he laughed. He said I was worried for nothing, it doesn't change who I am, If I'm happy that's all he cares about... then we hugged for a few min. I can't describe the joy I had and even got teary eyed. My wife told my mom at the same time and accually thought I was gay, but, was releaved to hear different, not that it would be any problem. She said I can come over in drab and hang out if I wanted. All is good tonight :thumbsup: Both parents know and they support me 100%. I wish the world was as open minded like them. This is the short version of tonight, and wanted to share with you. I want to thank all of you for your support, since I joined this forum. It is wonderful to have someone that can relate with me.

Hugs, Katie

Katie, congratulations to you on your courage and your parents on their incredible compassion and understanding.

[CharleneCD]

Katie, heres one place where you have alot more courage than me. I havnt been able to tell any of my family. Im so happy it went well for you.

I would guess that is a best-case scenario. Operative word: GUESS. I'm only 20, so I wouldn't know the "spectrum" of possible responses.

What "horror stories" have you read? Just curious.

[orchard]

good for you!

Wow Katie! That's great!
When my father found out about the hormones I've been taking and my boyfriend, he was pretty upset. We were never very close, so our relationship didn't really change. We just don't talk about it and decided never to tell my mother or my brother. I'm sure my mother is suspicious. One day she asked if my breast were larger than normal or if I'm shaving my legs because I never wear shorts when I'm at my folk's house. She's always asking me if have any girlfriend or if I'll ever get married. Sometimes, I wish I could answer her:"Oh yes, when I just need to find a nice man to marry me!" :) Obvoulsy she would freak out!
I'm glad you have such a supportive family.

From many posts on this forum, I think family can be the most accepting of all:

Parents don't care what we do, they love us unconditionally. I may get annoyed with my mum a lot, but I still love her unconditionally... and vice versa. It must be the reason she does all the domesticated stuff for us as a family. - I'd gladly take it off her hands if I could do it in a maids uniform ;)

Joking aside, I'm telling my parents about my dressing v soon = I see our moving house an opportunity to out myself, rather than something that is forcing a confession.

Congratulations Katie

I will never… at least, I can’t imagine ever, telling my parents about my cross-dressing. Still, I’m now 40 and we’re not close. Honestly, I amazed that they don’t know; it really must have been pretty obvious when I was growing up, had they been paying attention.

It sounds like you have some nice folks Katie.

[Katie Ashe]

I wanted to thank all of you for your support. My dad means alot ot me and the rest of the family isn't as understanding. Anyways to celebrate I got my ears pierced for the first time last night... cloud nine is something to speak of. I love you all, and thanks for the support you've giving me. :Power:

Katie

[paulaN]

[Maddie Knight]
