Title: Thank God for Daughter in Laws
Post by: ToniB on February 19, 2015, 04:29:15 AM
Hi All well all I can say is thank god for Daughter in Laws .Last night I had to tell the wife what was going on at work as I have had councelling arranged by them She did not react well as I expected but later that night her daughter came to visit and mags needing somebody to talk to told her the situation.My Daughter in law was totally accepting and supportive of Me .It seems that her and my granddaughter had been noticing the changes in Me and actually much prefer the more feminine Me .her suggestion to help her Mum come to terms with my changes was to say Why dont I and Nicole my granddaughter come down one evening bring a bottle of wine or two get Me all dressed up and have a girly night in to get the Wife used to seeing Me dressed in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.Hopefully she will see that I am still the same person I always was but in different clothes was how she put it.There was one funny point to the evening my daughter in law said she has some dresses that no longer fit her as she has lost a lot of weight that will fit Me that she will give Me and mags got a little jealous as she liked some of these dresses as well so I said we can share .So hopefully this will help things to settle down.Niether Mags or I want to split up so if she can come to terms with things and I know her daughter and granddaughter will work on her hopefully the future could be rosy (touch wood)

Nice!
night in sounds fun! just sitting like how you want to sit, not trying to be all blokey, holding the glass the way you want to hold it. talking how you want to talk. dressing how you want to dress, and not alone, but as a normal person with other people. its so great.
