reunited with daughter

Kristen · Post by **Kristen** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 8:19 pm

Girls, As most of you know my daughter (13) left in a huffy fit when see saw me on this site on Aug 14th. It has been very heartbreaking tot hink that she has not wanted to see me. My son came to visit me and to baby sit me, after oral surgery today.
He is 31 and lives in Frostbite Falls Minn., he was adament about seeing her and at least having lunch with her. On sunday we went to pick her up, and shopped with her at best buy and also wene to have supper with her.
I have not comunicated with her since and will start calling her every Sunday thanks to my son's insistance to see her. The communication lines are now open.

I have agonized over telling my three sons and my siblings that i am a crossdresser and this will not stop.
My son and I droped off my daugheter and he got real serious and asked what the whole uphealval was about, I swallowed a few times and decided totell then, He already knew ( known since 1993) that I am crossdreser and so does my other two sons, and my brother who i talk to a weekly basis.
The agony of telling everyone has been lifted and i can't tell you how good it feels to be accepted as a crossdressing dad and brother. My agony of not seeing my daughter has been lifted by my son's commuication skills and i feel so set free by this whole weekend 's happenings. I will be seeing her on Saturdays for lunch.

All of the support that I have gotten from all of you has been a amazingly helpful, for the last few months, I thank you all for your understanding and support. Keep smilin, keep postin and keep dressin. Kristen

Kristen,

We are so happy for your good news! The fact that they knew all this time and didn't say anything shows that obviously you were a great Dad and a great brother.

You'll have sweet dreams from now on!

Hugs,

Mrs. Missy and Missy

Kristen,

I have seen you agonize over this, and just felt so bad for you. Iam so glad that you have had this fortunate turn of events. You have really be a trooper and have continued to support your other sisters here, even though you were going through and incredible and tumultious time yourself.

I am so thrilled to hear of such good news, and I can hear in your voice a new sense of optomism I have not heard in your posts in quite a while. Good luck sister, and I am glad for your sense of relief, I do understand it.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Kristen,
I am soooo happy for you!! I know what a burden is lifted when the "family" knows and it is even better if they accept you. My son and daughter both know and it has not progressed beyond that other then my son saying, he thinks it's great that I can do my own thing. Neither have seen opr asked to see me dressed, so I just go on my merry way and try and respect everyone's wishes. So just take it slow and you know not to force it on anyone. Happy, happy, happy!!!
Love,
Virginia

Hi Kristen--
I'm glad it has worked out so well in that way. They've had plenty of time to think about it, so you shouldn't see sudden reversals of acceptance.

Good job & I'm glad everything has worked out OK for you. I've always though, 'better out than in', even if people may be disturbed or may not accept you immediately, it saves on suffering in the long run.

Girls, Thank you so much for all the support and comments, i truly believe this forum has been a help to me in dealing with crosdressing and family. i have never blamed the forum for using it while my daughter was visiting me. She has known for some time that I ross dress but does not want to see me in women's clothes. keep smilin keep dressin and keep postin......kristen
