This forum has made my shameful lifestyle acceptable, knowing how normal the people on this forum are enforces the fact that there is nothing wrong with me. I have struggle with who I am for 42 years, my wife has been a Godsend, she has helped me to accept myself as I am and has made many if not all of my anguishes I have dealt with all my life vanish. Like many here on this forum I used to hit rock bottom all the time, by that I mean, there were many times when despite having a perfect life (thanks to my wife and children) suicide was an idea that was constantly in my mind.
When I came out to my wife, or I should say, when she found me out, I actually laughed while we where having "the conversation". I was so relief and so sure of our love I knew she would accept me for who I truly am. When I told her about this site and she was ok with it I began to grow even more thanks to the advise and the stories from members of this forum.
Yes this forum has changed me, I see older pictures of Michelle and think they are actually humorous compared to the more recent pictures, not because I believe I make a more attractive woman but because I see the improvement on my hair, makeup, posture and overall attitude towards Michelle, I not only accept Michelle now, I want her to continue growing, I want to continue to learn and apply all the advise given by the people that know how it is to be a little bit different, people like me just finding themselves. So to all the people behind the curtain and to other members a big thanks for the time, effort and support provided.
