Well I've done it! I've told the wonderful woman who brought me into this world 34 years ago, that her son is a crossdresser and goes all the way (makeup, wig, breastforms, the works). I also let her know that I am a member of a Crossdressers support group, albeit too far away now to be physically present at the get togethers. She said that this could be part of my lonliness, not having other crossdressers to share a common bond with. She asked if my lovely wife knew and I told her she did, and that she accepts that this is who I really am. I also let her know that we do our best to keep it from our kids, so as not to put undue pressure on them (teenagers have a hard enough time getting to grips with their own lives, to be burdened with something of this magnitude just adds to lifes difficulties for them).
The reaction I received from her was one of nothing but pure Love and respect
for my openness with her and my total honesty. Mum's total acceptance of my confession was such a welcome relief. It helps that Mum has an open mind towards peoples sexuality and life choices. Either way it felt like a great weight was lifted from my shoulders, and, Mum said that it also lifted a weight from hers. Mum admitted that she felt there was something bothering me the last time I visited, but she couldn't put her finger on the pulse, and left it to me to tell her or vent when I was ready.I admit I was at a very low ebb when I poured my heart out to my Mum. But just being able to tell her, and not hear any form of rejection proves my love for my Mum and her love for me, without any doubt. A child may leave home and grow to be an adult, but Mum will always be there in body, soul or in one's heart.
Since the chat my wife has stated how proud she was, for taking such a big step. She has known for quite some time now that I wanted to tell Mum but have always feared doing so. She has seen in me a change for the better. And when I last spoke to Mum, she told me she has let Dad know and he just took it in his usual relaxed easy paced stride.
My whole feeling is one of finally be free from hiding within myself. Now I'm just hiding in the closet only
Love and respect to my Sisters always. Thanks for letting me ramble...
