Been on here for a week and it has changed my life for the better. I've checked out this site for years and read posts. I've been on all the binging and purging and guilt associated with it over the years as I'm sure most of you have. I think right now I am the most accepting and embracing I've ever been.
I am in a difficult time in my life right now, I'm going through a heartbreaking divorce and feeling much grief and I need all the support I can get from like minded people. My former wife was very accepting of my dressing up earlier in our relationship, back in the mid 90s, but people change over time. With her I could only dress up at home with all the curtains closed, which can be confining and take a lot the fun out of crossdressing.
I have minimal clothing after my last purge a year ago so I need to get more in plus sizes, I'm 6 foot 4. I purged when my daughter was a year old, she's almost two now. I was going through a lot of mixed feelings about things and I didn't want my daughter embarrassed in any way. Before a week ago I hadn't dressed up in 2 1/2 years and hadn't gone fully femme for over six years. I tried to quit but I was kidding myself so I'm coming to terms with it all again.
I would like to attend events in the Bay Area and meet other CDers to help me cope with what I'm dealing with.
I've come out to a few people but not many. Hopefully in time and with help.
Anyone near Santa Cruz or San Jose.
