Coming out about cross-dressing to your family

Post by Kittie »

I am out to my wife. I got caught out a few years ago! I need to come-out to my children. How do I do it. Cross-Dressing is a normal act to me. My wife accepts my cross-dressing.

Might I ask, why do you need to come out?

I told my son face-to-face, because he still lives at home, and he's fine with it.

Told my daughter by sending her a photo. Didn't need to, but my wife kept egging me on. She's not asked me anything about it.

Ro and I went through the coming out issue ages ago. It can be so very complicated and so I wrote it all up on my website. It's too long to post here so let me provide the page, http://davita-farley.webs.com/how_to/tel_chld.html. I hope it helps. It won't give you an answer, but will help gather your thoughts and maybe give you a few things more to think about.

Good Luck!

Kittie, it really comes down to: How well do you know your son? Does he seem open minded, or is he strictly conventional? Is you relationship cordial, or adversarial? Has he reveal any personal opinions, vis a vis LGBT issues?

Well I hope it goes better for you than it did for me. My ex tried to use my CDing for black mail for our divorce. So I told our kids. Thought it was better coming from me than my ex. She was not happy about it at all. My daughter already did not like me at this point because of a lot of other mental issues my ex was pulling in the last years and continues. My son does not want to talk about it but we talk about other things and I get to see him.

I really do believe we are all just human and we as men have a right to be liberated and free to express who we are even if it varies from time to time and still have every right and expectation of being fully and completely embraced and accepted for who we are at ALL times. Society has no choice but to evolve and to make a space for us. Some may grumble but we always grumble about something afterall we are human. They need to just get over it and move on.

Be brave, doll. You were brave enough to have her and raise her. Should be okay since you did things right with her. :)

Good luck tonight.
