Hi again after a while .

[Sue]

Hello to all .

Well , I am not truly new here but have been absent for a few years . All my life I had struggled with CD and felt totally alone . I am married and firmly in the closet . A few years ago it really hit me hard . I became very depressed and had thoughts of self destruction even . It felt like I was the only one who felt this way . I have always loved to dress but it has always been in private . I tried to approach the subject to my wife once but she could not accept it at all . I guess she knows I do it but doesn't want to know or be involved in any way .

Anyway , one day I found this lovely amazing site and after a while I plucked up the courage to post my story . I can say that it changed my life . Oh yes , I am still in the closet and likely to to remain there but now I have the self respect that I had lost . I know I am not perverted or evil but simply a little different . Now I can embrace my difference and celebrate the way I am . I can now say that I would not change anything . There are times when "being a woman" is a need that I must fulfill . I am a sensitive and caring person and at those times I feel "whole" and complete .

I hope to post more about my story very soon but until then I want to say a big hello to all here and if anyone reads this who is in any doubt about joining the lovely girls here , forget that doubt . Open your heart and free yourself of guilt . The world will become a better place for you to inhabit .

Love from Sue

Hi Sue--
Welcome back! As each decade goes by, there will less and less of us who say, "I felt like I was the only one." Whatever problems may come up for us, the Internet has at least showed us that we're not alone.

Hi Sue,

I too am glad you have returned. I too am probably a lifer in the closet. The outlet here is a god send. Hope it does as much for you as me.

Hi Sue I should have got you to write my introduction, I would express the exact same sentiments.
In the short time I have been on the forum it has helped me to understand myself a little better and I think I can see down the road a little clearer now. They are a lovely bunch of girls. Please join in in the chat room it is a wonderful experience to be able to talk to somebody without any inhibitions ,

Hi Sue, back.

Hi Sue. Your story is similar to mine however I came out to my wife over 12 months ago. While she is accepting of my dressing she remains apprehensive and withdrawn when I dress however with the "baby steps" the frost is slowly thawing.

I also enjoy my feminine side when dressed however I will ever remain just a guy who enjoys wearing feminine attire.
