We just got back from my parent's house. I have to say that all went as good as I had hoped, and better than I had expected. It took a while to find a big enough break in the conversation before dinner to bring te subject up. Once I had broken the news to my parents, my mom's response was "OK. So, you are a cross dresser..." My dad didn't say anything, as I expected. My mom said "It's not like you're gay or anything", not that that would have really bothered her either. My parent's only real concern is for my safety, and that this wouldnt cause us any trouble, especially that our daughter would be picked on because of this. I plan on teaching her to respond appropriately when this does happen. My dad tried to imply that I could stop doing it, but I told him that this is who I am, and that it really was OK. Conversation moved on to other subjects with no ill effects. Only time will tell how well they accept it, but I would say that they will accept my cross dressing to some level. I don't know how they wil ltake to actually seeing me as Heather, but they will not have a problem with it either. I am very relieved that it went as it did. Yay!
