I'm glad that it worked out better than you expected.
I dread my brother finding out about my transitioning. He even describes himself as a psychopath and he does tend to take advantage of any vulnerability.
He won't be surprised, though. He must know about my cross dressing throughout my life, although I never did it in front of him. Also, many years ago, I overheard a female cousin tell him that I would be a better girl than a boy, and he agreed with her. He has often made me cry, too, and I know he doesn't regard that as manly.
