Coming out early in my childhood

Coming out early in my childhood was something that was a struggle.One was because of my dad pressuring me to stay male.Mom noticed I acted feminine a lot at age 5 seeing I wanted to be one of the girls.Beiing the oldest of 3 brother,I first tried on girl's clothes at age 10 and loved it.It was on certain days I did this.Finally at age 13,came out to my mom that I wanted to dress as a girl enjoying the girl's clothes more.She listened and did it with help of a therapist.Saw a huge positive change in me after that,was much happier.Dad,he wanted his oldest son back and did take time for him to accept that he had a much happier daughter.To this day,I am well loved and accepted and loved as a big sister and daughter

I have been much happier ever since.I remember going to formal events wearing the suit and tie watching mom come out wearing a dress and heels.Knew I wanted to be like her.Mom remembers me walking out wearing a dress and heels at age 14 a year after coming out getting ready to leave for a wedding.Saw me much happier and said I looked good.
