Crossdressers-Haven.com

I know how my 10 year old son Gabe started crossdressing and he was 7 at the time,I was in my bedrom doing something he saw a necklace of mine he liked.He did try it on and liked it.Than it was the clothing and it was hard on me at first.I thought it was my fault at first asking myself what was wrong with me and I was told it was not by my mom including my husband Robby.I was not told to give up on him by my husband.My mom said the same thing.I never gave up on him knowing I gave birth to him and began supporting him.It was after that,his female side Gabby came out right out and I knew there was something about his female side.His female side was very nice and calm which has been to this day.I truely love my son Gabe knowing he is this way and expressing himself.

chantel support is one of the greatest things your child will ever need and he will be a lot closer to you because of it. lacy

His female side Gabby and I are very close which I do take him shopping for clothes.I know Gabby very well, loves pink and purple for colors.

I have to applaud you as a parent for being so open and allowing yourself to really care about your child and what they are feeling. Few parents do that. So many worry about how they will be looked at by others or how their kids will be perceived and stop thinking of their children's true happiness, well being, and development as a person (at what ever age). The fact that you respect his views on his identity is a great example. I think this forum will help you to help him be not just a happy and well adjusted CD'er...as well as an overall individual.

I care about my son Gabe and he knows this.He is the oldest,I l also have an 8 year old son Karl and a 7 year old daughter Victoria.My daughter says Gabby is a great big sister to her

you deserve the mom of the year award, when i came out to my mom i was 16 and it went bad, very bad. it took a long time to get over. no matter how things turn out, your son will be much better off knowing you love him unconditionally, no matter what

It has always been my belief kids are gentle, if a bit aloof and agitated, whenever they feel comfortable in their environment. Giving support now is probably the most wonderful thing thing you can do.

Way to go Mom! Thanks. Myself, I snuck around for decades not so much because I didn't think I was going to be supported, but "I was the only one." I had no idea there was a whole world of us girls. When I finally did come out to Mom (Dad had passed), Mom was actually worried not because of who I was but for how I could be treated. Darn, I should have come out to her when I was a teen instead of a married girl of thirty years or so.

Again, thanks for being such a good mom.

Davita,

I totally agree with the 'being alone in this' angle, I spent over thirty years thinking I was the only one. We had no way of communicating with others like us until the internet came along. I much prefer the situation now and if I had my time again I would certainly have come 'out' much younger.

Like Susan I was also very much alone. I was sure there were others out there but no possble way of connecting with them. I remember a couple of documentaries on closet Cding. One guy was a resigned naval officer he talked about his activity and showed his female clothes and lingerie, but at no point in the programme was his identity or face exposed.

My wife used to do Samaritan work for a period of time and she received numerous calls from CDs, most wanted to chat anout their female clothes, waht they were wearing or what they had purchased recently.


Although my work entailed considerable IT use i did not start to use home internet access until about 10 years ago. My son had a PC and i was curious what searches would find as regards my CD activity and dressing preferences. I was probably not to good at covering up my search activity, I never know whether my son looked at the recent browsing list.

Chantel--I wish I had someone who understood whenI was a child! You are a blessing!
