I&#8217;ve been really lucky this summer in that I&#8217;ve been able to share a lot more of what I&#8217;m really up to in life with my parents, especially with my mother, and it&#8217;s taken a big load off my shoulders.  <\/p>\n<p>My mother and I always had a decent relationship but there was some distance because, although she knew I was a crossdresser and knew I ran some sort of website that had something to do with crossdressing, she didn&#8217;t know the full story and I always felt like I was shading the truth and hiding things from her whenever we talked on the phone.  Not that I have any desire to tell her the juicy details of what I do, but I still felt a weight from always being overly cautious with her.  I find it&#8217;s just a pain in the ass to live that way.  In many ways she was the person I feared the most in the world, not a great way to have a decent relationship with one&#8217;s mother.  And both of my parents are getting older and both have health problems so they&#8217;re not going to be here forever.  <\/p>\n<p>So anyway, I was able to have a good talk with her a while ago and, damn, she knows the full story now.  I even told her about the rope bondage class that I teach.  It wasn&#8217;t as dramatic as it sounds since, yeah, she already knew about 65% of the story, but I&#8217;m straight with her now and that&#8217;s a nice feeling.  Again, I&#8217;m not going to tell her what I do when I go out to that party in the Valley or meet up with so and so, but it&#8217;s good and very freeing just to be known for who you really are, especially if who you are is a little on the weird side.<\/p>\n<p>My Dad on the other hand, has always been such a free spirit and so open minded that I literally could talk to him about ANYTHING, which is also pretty weird.  He&#8217;s known about my &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; and work for quite a while and has always been incredibly supportive.  I think he imagines that my life is actually way wilder and crazier than it really is, which is kind of funny.  Many Saturday nights I&#8217;m just at home like everyone else.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m really lucky to have such great parents.  I know that for many other tvs and tgs out there that being this open about one&#8217;s secrets isn&#8217;t even in the realm of possibility.  Although I have to admit, at one time I thought the same thing about my own mother, that it would kill her if she knew about my life.  So far her heart&#8217;s still ticking away.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So along the same lines as the last post, I do like to try to be open about my life and not hide things if possible &#8211; not always an easy chore when you&#8217;re a bondage-loving transvestite with a fetish website.
