Hey Hope!
What a great name! That is really good! I'm glad to hear you have a supportive wife. I'm single, so maybe some day I'll find someone who accepts me.
It was encouraging to hear that people didn't comes to terms with their CDing until in their 20's. I thought I was lagging behind.
What a great forum

Hey Michelle,
You know, we all have struggles in life. Crossdressing was a struggle for me too. I say "was", because it's really not anymore. This site has been instrumental in that respect. Just finding others like myself was a huge comfort. I'm married and I have a wonderfully supportive spouse, too. So I have come to accept this as part of "me"
You will have to come to terms with yourself, too. In your time, in your way. Don't think that you have to rush. I must insist, however, that you don't think of yourself as a freak. I can atest from personal experience, you (nor I, nor anyone)are not!! I've been down that road, and it's a pointless journey.
This site is comprised of people of all walks of life. There's a wealth of experience to learn from here. Many, many posts that touch on what you're dealing with.
Sally's post is right on the mark.
Oops, gotta go. Talk atcha later.
Hugs,
Kyra

Hi Michelle--
I can see why you would at least question crossdressing at 25. It can get in the way of what an ambitious man is supposed to do and feel. You have a lot of choices still ahead of you, and CDing can complicate those choices. I've written this before, and it might have been to you.
But I'd have to say, I think acceptance is better than trying to fight or suppress it. We haven't talked about that on this forum-quitting, that is, and whether anyone's done it. My theory is simple--if anyone has quit, they don't come back here to tell us about it. In my four years reading CD forums, I've heard from two people who said they had quit or were quitting. I've never heard from either of them again--so who knows how they've fared?
The reality seems to be that we're who we are, and the sooner we learn to integrate it into our lives, the better. I'm a happy man, and I think that many of us here are happy with our lives. We're productive people, we tend to have high-responsibility jobs, and we certainly have mates and familes.

Michelle - I found at in my twenties it was consuming me - I would always be thinking when can I dress next. I would miss appt's, call friends and say I can't make it, always trying to juggle time. I would think to myself I gotta stop doing this its like a drug. So if thats whats getting to you -just step back and know that there are many more times ahead for you, and you contol it It doesn't control you. Have fun with it. Don't spend your time fighting with it. I think all the other gals here will tell you--it ain't going away for good".
