[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 358774, member: 6557"] My experience might be a little different. I came home one day to find my dad wearing a dress. It was a shock and actually thrust me into a state of grieving, combined with gilt for grieving for someone who was still alive. But, after seeing my sister go through the same thing, I think grieving for the loss of the perfect image of my dad is also a normal thing. Today I have a loving relationship with my cross-dressing dad. So I might understand cross-dressing a little more. Several things could be going on: He might be curious in woman's underwear, because the hormones are raging and he just wants to know. He might have some kind of fetish. Or he might be interested in exploring ideas of cross-dressing. 1) For curiosity a long talk with a male role model might help. Typically teens out grow the curiosity stage. 2) for a growing fetish he might wish to speak with a therapist to at least learn how to control it and be respectful of peoples property and privacy. 3) For thoughts of cross dressing. You can not discourage the tenancy or desire. You can only teach the child to keep his mouth shut. I know how hard it was for my adult father to tell anyone. Most of the people who know, know because they walked in on him. Fear of the very strong negative reaction I had, is a good motivator to not talk about it. So for him to talk with you, he must be comfortable with how you are going to react. Also if he is not exploring cross-dressing ideas he might be highly insulted at any implication. I might start a genital verbal campain to make him feel more comfortable talking. Example: "Last week I herd of a mother who actually disowned her son, because she caught him wearing a dress? I could not image ever disowning a child for something like that!, and who cares about what you wear anyway?" You want him to know you are comfortable with the idea, and don't accuse him of anything or even imply. Just open a door that he might be comfortable talking about. [/QUOTE]
