The Birth of Laura
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 12:58 am
I remember the moment I started. I was about 5. My brother and I shared a room. He used to dare me to sneak out of the room at night and see if I would get caught. I would sneak out, then if I heard something, I would hop into the clothes hamper. While in there, some of my mom's clothing would be in there, and I can still remember the perfume smell. It was wonderful. Some silky things, some satin, some nylon etc. Then, in order to get my brother to like me, one night I went and stole a pair of my mom's nylons that she had hung over the towel rack in the bathroom to dry. I put them on and danced on the bed for my brother. He laughed like hell. It felt good to me to be wearing them, and it felt good that I could entertain him. There was a brief lapse after that, where I didn't do it again (Catholic guilt), but in a year or so, I felt compelled. I started raiding my mom's drawer. I had a blanket with a small rip in it where I could stash stuff. I would steal one thing, wear it a while at night, then stash it in the blanket. After that got old, stole something else. wore it a while, etc. Well as you can imagine, after a while, my mom was missing a lot of manure, and my blanket got pretty thick. I was still sharing a bedroom with my brother, and still too young to get wood, but dressing was a part of me. My dad took my brother and I on a fishing trip, when we returned, I found my blanket empty. I KNEW my mom KNEW. She never said anything, but I KNEW. I was horrified. I gave it up for a bit after that, but she always returned. I was caught many times. Not in the act, but by preponderance of the evidence. At one time, I had my best friend over. we were looking for something I had lost in my room. He lifted my matress and found a pair of nylons. He said what is this? I said I dunno? :| I don't think he bought it. The stories go on and on. They have made me want to claim my life more than once. After 31 yrs of CD'ing, I am finally getting to the point where I can say screw it, its me, deal with it. No one loves me. I have very few friends, some aquaintences. But the girl inside me will live on beyond all of them.
