While cleaning her teen son\u2019s room, a woman stumbled upon an unfamiliar bag in his closet. When she opened it, she was shocked to see a skirt and high heels. \u201cWhose are these?\u201d she wondered, unaware that they belonged to her son.<\/p>\n

\u201cMolly, you are so lucky to have a husband like Stephen,\u201d my friends would say every time we would talk about my marriage when I was in my twenties.<\/p>\n

I had always dreamt of getting married at an early age to the love of my life, but what happened in the years after my marriage tested my patience. I wasn\u2019t ready for any of it.<\/p>\n

We had planned to have a baby in the first year of our marriage, but fate had other plans. My heart would skip a beat every time I saw a positive pregnancy test, but weeks later, I would cry sitting on my bed, wondering why I had lost my child.<\/p>\n

When I conceived again after two consecutive miscarriages, the doctors suggested hormone therapy in the first trimester to keep my baby safe. Ultimately, I was able to give birth to my son at 34.<\/p>\n

Holding my son Jim for the first time in my arms was surreal. I spent hours looking at his delicate fingers and tiny feet, thinking how lucky I was to have such a beautiful baby. Stephen and I loved Jim immensely and provided him with everything he needed.<\/p>\n

As Jim grew older, I began spoiling him with my laundry allowance. I bought him candies and toys, while Stephen always bought boxing gloves for Jim, hoping he would become a boxer one day.<\/p>\n

This looks like a girl\u2019s bag. I don\u2019t think it belongs to Jim, I thought to myself and pulled the bag out.
\nHowever, Jim was more interested in dancing. Stephen would scold him whenever Jim told him he wanted to be a professional dancer instead of a boxer. Soon, their relationship began deteriorating, and Jim felt scared of Stephen.<\/p>\n

As a teenager, Jim isn\u2019t like other boys his age. He enjoys his own company and never mingles with girls, not that I know of. My friends tell me their sons often invite their girlfriends over, but I have never seen any of Jim\u2019s girlfriends in our house.<\/p>\n

Whenever I told my friends about Jim, they would tell me his behavior wasn\u2019t normal, but I never paid attention to them. I think every child has a different personality, and Jim is just an introvert.<\/p>\n

However, I felt slightly concerned when Jim stopped letting me into his room. I think he doesn\u2019t want his 49-year-old mother snooping around, but part of me was curious to find out if he was hiding something from me.<\/p>\n

While I was still wondering how to talk to Jim about it, our doorbell rang early in the morning, and when I went to open the door, a courier handed me a parcel with Jim\u2019s name on it.<\/p>\n

What is this? I wondered and put the table on the kitchen island to fetch a pair of scissors. Right when I was about to open the box, Jim snatched it from me and took it into his room without saying anything. That\u2019s strange, I wondered.<\/p>\n

A few days later, when Jim went to the grocery store to buy a few things, I went into his room to clean it. There was a pile of clothes on his bed, so I opened his wardrobe to put them inside when a bag caught my attention.<\/p>\n

This looks like a girl\u2019s bag. I don\u2019t think it belongs to Jim, I thought to myself and pulled the bag out. What I saw inside was something that left me shocked.<\/p>\n

The bag had a skirt, high heels, and some makeup. Why would Jim keep these things in his wardrobe? I wondered and waited for him to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cJim, are these your things?\u201d I asked him once he returned home.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Mom,\u201d Jim smiled and took the bag from my hands. \u201cA friend asked me to order these online for her. I will give them to her tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, okay,\u201d I breathed a sigh of relief, unaware that a greater shock awaited me.<\/p>\n

Two days later, I came home from work an hour early. As I entered the house, I saw Jim\u2019s shoes and realized he was home, so I headed toward his room to ask him if he was hungry.<\/p>\n

As I came near his room, I saw a moving shadow on the door and Jim singing a song in a faint voice. What\u2019s happening? I wondered. I tiptoed and peeked inside his room, trying not to alarm him.<\/p>\n

What I saw inside left me terrified. I saw Jim wearing the same skirt and heels I saw in his wardrobe. He was applying lipstick while looking in the mirror and didn\u2019t notice me.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m in shock, and I don\u2019t know what to do. Should I talk to him? I can\u2019t share this with Stephen. As I write this, he is at work and will return anytime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
