I can imagine some of what my mother would have said had I come out to her. She was ashamed and embarassee enough when I left my practice wife, so wrapped up in her gossamer thin 'reputation'. But then I cut my entire family out of my life close to 12 years ago so it's a moot point.
It would have been hilarious to come out to her though since we caught my father CDing when I was young. My mother had forgotten her purse when we were on our way to the train station for a cinema trip, she opened the front door in time to catch my father coming down the stairs dressed. Awkward.
So, Patience, you've taken a great step forward. Here's hoping your mother becomes increasingly accepting rather than judgemental. Some parents are bad at not accepting their kid's decisions. And plenty worry about said decisions. Sorry to hear that she's not supportive generally, boy, can I relate.
However, good for you in asserting your right to the happiness dressing brings you. Stick to them guns, girl. 👍
