Awesome! Better out than in!
Sorry to hear you were forced into it; I guess you weren't hiding it too well? :3
Thanks! Yeah, they found my makeup and continued from there + I regularly went semi-fem in front of them, so my Mom was already suspicious
That is fantastic! It must have have been incredibly difficult to effectively live a double life and feel like you are constantly lying to your closest family. What a relief this must be for you. Congratulations.
Thank you! yeah it was difficult, and this really is a huge relief for me

Hey, that is so great, I am happy for you! In fact, this certainly improved my mood :)
On a different note: At first I read "my mum forced me out" and was first very upset and then very confused.
Yeah I probably could have worded that better, and I'm happy it improved your mood!
