First of all, let me say a few things about myself. I'm 23 years old MTF CDer and I'm a university student that lives with my mom and sister in the L.A. area. I've been crossdressing since 12 years old (I do crossdressing but I drift more towards being bi-gendered). I used to be very good at hiding this from my mom, till the past few years where I hadn't had as good places to hide my clothes (plus I've been buying a lot of them.)
I'm in hot water now since I was going to transport some of my clothes from my house to my locker, and for some reason my mom went and opened my backpack to look through and she found my clothes. This isn't the first time that this has happened, but I refused to talk about it before. I decided to try to tell her, but she got so angry at me and started on this rant about how men should only wear mens clothes and that God condemns this.
Let me say a few things about my mom. My mom is hispanic, in her 50's. My mom has been divorced from my dad for about 12 years, and since then has suffered chronic depression, sometimes severe (to the point of suicidal tendencies). She has been up to her eyeballs in problems, and has a highly stressed life. She also used to be with the Jehovah's Witnesses, but has been away from them for the past few years. She though seeks to go back with them. She's also very conservative in sexual matters, and grew up in a Catholic family that was also very macho.
So now I'm in hot water having to try to defend what I do, and my mom aggressively condemns what I'm doing and says how God condemns crossdressing in the bible, how it is wrong for men to wear women's clothes. I tell her that this has nothing to do with sexuality, and that I like women. She goes and then tells me that this could lead to homosexuality, and then she says of how the Devil is doing this to her to prevent her from going back to her religion. If I speak an ounce of why I crossdress, she gets disgusted. She speaks as if crossdressing is wrong, period, and speaks as if its a grave sin. She also got sad and depressed, and I try to defend my stance and she speaks as if she is disappointed in her son. I went and took a bus from that point, but I've never told her before for one because of her depression. I'm really worried though, since she has spoken before of how even though she lost so many things, she could be proud that "me and my sister didn't do drugs or didn't do bad things" and grew up good. I'm afraid that this could tip her off the board and that she could disown me or do something bad to herself. I dunno what to do or how to handle this
