Not quite coming out out but more Caught in the act.
This happened 2 days ago.
I have become a bit more daring around the house and some time I had to be caught.
My 19 year old son said he was going to bed, so as per normal it was time to throw on my nighty and relax in the lounge.
I was just turning the lights off when he came into the room as he had needed something and it was one of those Oh Crap moments where he said "this is f'ing awkward". He then silently got what he was after and went to his room.
The next afternoon when he surfaced from his room (I think he was hiding from me) he did the lawns. My wife and I suggested we walk down to a local bar and have a drink as I wanted to explain properly who I was.
He is a very mature bloke and he said it doesn't worry him as long as it is not in his face. We also explained that I was not gay just that I liked to wear women's clothing. We didn't inform him of everything as that will slowly come out.
It is now a lot more relaxing at home as I don't have to hide my wearing nighties or my painted toenails.
So this is sort of coming out even though it was not planned, now my wife feels a lot better as she can have some support at home. On a funny side, last night he came stomping slowly up the stairs to the lounge and said "was that enough warning?".
I wish I had had the courage to tell him earlier as his reaction was fantastic.
