My family, from learning to coming to terms and finally becoming supportive
My family has learned a lot from coming to terms and finally becoming supportive with me as a fulltime MTF crossdresser. They knew me as a son and brother that had a hard life through my childhood. Growing up being an older brother to my younger 2 sisters Evelyn and Jill, I knew there was a female side of me that wanted out and never got to experience it. Did try on a dress of my mom's at age 16 while my parents were gone at work and loved it. I thought it was a regret being an one time try and put it back in her closet back to close how I found it. After I turned 30,knew Andrea had to come out and started dressing privately and going out buying women's clothing and never touched my wife's wardrobe. It was after my wife caught me, knew it had to come out. Finally one day I was at my parent's house and luckily my sisters were there. Finally came out as a MTF crossdresser and told them plans to be my female side Andrea would be full time. My parents took it the hardest. My sisters, it took them a couple days to coming to terms becoming supportive. My parents, they thought it was their fault and told them it was not. It took them a couple weeks coming to terms about it and became supportive. To this day, they see I live a much happier life living and dressing as my true self. Plus they love me as a daughter and big sister, they know that son/brother that was struggling is gone and not coming back. They call me Andrea using the pronouns she and her including herself
I wish my family was supportive as fast as yours. I’ve been out as a lesbian for nine years, and they still make subtle comments that they call jokes about me being with men. I don’t think that they’ve ever taken anything I’ve said or done seriously because I’m blind.
