Positive reaction from mom

Well, unless screaming, beating, and eventually therapy sessions are a good reaction, then no, not so good. We're okay now, I don't mention it to her and she doesn't mention it to me.

I have a feeling that my mom would have been pleased to see me looking like a girl. But she has been dead for 28 years so I will never know.

I guess I was happy when as a child she had no reaction. That was positive enough for me. She used to let me where pantyhose and caught me in a dress and did not make a big deal about it. Of course, I was in my teens.

My mom didn't really like it when I told her. I sent her a long email telling her everything, which maybe wasn't the best idea.

She said she cried a lot, and doesn't understand me. At first she was dead set on getting me a counselor, but I never wanted one. So I guess we're still in a rocky stage as I live with her.

One time I came to watch TV with her wearing a pair of girly pajama pants and she just said that they looked stupid on me.

Just the other day I got a wig from Ebay and she found it, but hasn't brought it up again.

I don't think my mom will ever really come to terms with my dressing :(

I dressed for her for a lot of years and she helped me shop

I live with my Sister,Mom and Nephew.They leave me alone most of the time at my end of the hallway and they are very respectful of my privacy.We all get along just great.A family freind of ours who works as a therapist/counselar told me years ago on more than one ocaision that my Mom would never accept my CD'ing.She would never denounce me or deny that I'm her son.If she had millions of dollars she'd give me some of the money.But she would find my dressing to be freakish and strange.My sister and nephew are very 2007 modern and there's a fairly good chance that they just might accept it.I just might tell them in a few years.Maybe. And I have some cousins that could possibly be cool about it.I'll have to think about it.But come out to my Mom?No way.It would put her in a gloomy,frightened funk which would last for months and she would probably cuss and holler everytime I tried walk up to her and try to talk to her in order to smooth things over.
