My daughter had a barbecue at her place on July 4th it was the first time I have seen my son in-laws parents in about a year. I knew my daughter and her husband had talked to them about me but I wasn't sure how they would react when they met me. I was somewhat nervous when I first got there it was also the first time I wore a skirt in public so I was a little on edge. I saw them sitting out on the patio so I decided to just walk out there and say hi they looked a little perplexed at first but I sat down with them and started talking with them; they were really impressed with the amount of weight I lost I told the I had lost about 190 lbs one of them said it was like losing another person I told them I didn't like that guy anyway they laughed at that and conversation changed to other things. My wife told me later that she talked to them they said that I seemed much happier and more open and that they saw that this was a positive thing for me. I was worried that it could of gone the other way my son in laws father is a 6' 7'' alpha male type and I have always been afraid of guys like that. I have been very fortunate so far with my transition I know that's not the case for a lot people. I also realized that I really like wearing a skirt.
