Well, after many months of hiding my true self, I finally told my Mom all about it (dad was at work)! :icon_nervious: I was very nervous and almost didn't but I just kind of blurted it out. She was kind of speechless at first but reacted possitively. She asked a few questions and then said that she supports me in my effort and that she will always love me! :icon_joy: I'm so happy! I immediately got changed into my real clothes (not the 'man' costume I was wearing), and then we went out and had a great day! I'm still riding high! :eusa_dance:
Thanks for giving me a great place to get support and answers, I love you all! :-*

Good for you :) I'm glad it went well
I haven't openly come out to my folks. My family is the "don't ask, don't tell" type. But I'm pretty sure they know. I got allot of rather fem. looking clothes for Christmas :laugh: Somethings even said womens or lady's on the tags. I was at my sister's and she and her family seemed to watch to see my reaction. I just smiled and said everything was rather nice :laugh:

Good for you, Vanessa. Just one milestone down. Keep moving forward. And give your Mom a big hug. She deserves it. And I imagine that Dad must likely know, if they talk.
Good luck, Hon.

Congratulations, Vanessa! That must be a huge relief. :P
One down, many more to go, but each one is easier. This was a hard one for you. I'm glad it went so well. ;D

Vanessa, that's GREAT news, Hon! I think you'll find that your friends, most of them anyway, will be cool with the news too. Best of luck to you. Hugs.
