    Coming Out !

    Shortly after my wife died in October 2002 I went to live with my ailing parents, my mother was 79, and my dad almost 82. One evening, in early 2003, I came downstairs, where they were watching TV, I was fully enfemme. When they saw me they bdidn't batter an eye, as the long suspected that I "dressed." It seems that they, especially my mother, noticed that some of her female stuff, such as bras, shoes, stocking/pantyhose and spare eyewear was ocassionally missing and suddenly would show up out of the blue. Except for a very brief period in 2003 I was a caregiver for them dressed enfemme. Died died in 2006, mom in 2007. My mom liked it that I copied her style, right down to her cat's eye frames. I had to share this story even though I have kept this away from the site for many years. I have been a member here for many years.

    Proves again Arlene that some parents will always be understanding and accepting of who we are - no matter how we are dressed.

    Love your story. It's so nice to have family acceptance.
    I think my mom knew long ago, but we never talked about it. I wish I had had the chance to show her as you did. I think she would have been accepting and that would have meant the world to me.

    That's a nice story. I would expect that caring parents like yours would have no problem accepting whatever their children are.

    Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story. I wish I had the courage to come out to my family. Only my wife knows.
    by the way I used to love dressing up in my mom's clothes too when I was living at home. Now I have the pleasure to dress up in my wife's clothes.
    Love,
    Lexi

    I'm guessing that my Mom knew when I was living at home (a long time ago). I never came out to her before she passed but I would like to believe she would have been accepting.
