Hi all,
This one is for all the Girls out there like me who are in the closet.
Yesterday I had 2 hours to dress as nobody was home. I rushed home from work, went right upstairs, put on my girl clothes and then headed for the bathroom, put on my make up and wig and headed downstairs to have some quality time as Michelle, this took 45 minutes in all. This gave me around another 45 minutes as Michelle, as I try to give myself another 30 minutes or so to re-drab and remove my makeup before my Mother comes home. I'm guilty as most on here for trying to hang on till the very last second to change back which I did and only left myself 15 minutes to remove my makeup!! big mistake as I've got very sensitive skin and because I rushed it and now my face is feeling the effects today.
My Mother and Grandmother came home on time, my Mother knows about Michelle said to me after my Grandmother left the room "you have been scrubbing your face it's bright red" No hiding anything from my Mam that's for sure.
My point is that for once I wish that I didn't have to go through all of that just to take it all off again less than an hour after all that time and effort to put it on in the first place. My Mother knows I dress and gives me space to do so, but I'd love to have her opinion on how I look, how well I've done my makeup etc, even if it was a criticism for getting it a bit wrong. She doesn't want to see me as Michelle, not even a picture. I respect her decision as I totally understand it as is a lot for a Mother to accept this from your son and I love her to pieces for supporting me over the last 8 months since I told her, but it can be frustrating sometimes. I'm not saying I'd want to dress all the time that I'm home, no way, but sometimes it would be nice to share an important part of my life with somebody else.
Do you feel the same? maybe you'd love to hear your SO opinion on how you've done?
Hugs
Michelle
