CD retirement (again)

[Kate Simmons]

I had started retiring from CDing a couple of years ago, as I had pretty much accomplished what I wanted to with it by becoming a full spectrum person in touch with his/her feelings.I had resurrected the active part for a few months last year after being away from it for a year but found it no longer had the same effect it once did. Recently I had contemplated returning to it and possibly looking for someone to have a relationship with wherin I could fulfill the woman's role.

Things change though and now my son has moved in with his two boys and my daughter and her daughter and husband were already here. I will be helping my son as the boys are school age, he is a widower and is working full time while I'm retired and working part time while receiving my pension and social security. Seems like it should work but I've decided for now at least to put the CDing on the shelf to enjoy my Grandkids. They don't stay young forever unfortunately, so I don't want to miss this golden opportunity.

I've also decided to highlight my guy side and seek a lady friend to spend time with. I really need to re-discover my guy side in this respect. Even so, I wouldn't mind dating a few CD gals now and then.

I've enjoyed all of my experiences over the years and I'm not saying I'm leaving CDing for good but will be taking a hiatus. I will still be here and will still discuss issues, etc. and keep my femme avatars. Enjoying life from both aspects is really nice in any cae and I'm always myself regardless of appearance, that you can be sure of.;):)

It sounds like you have a grounded approach to your cross-dressing. I have always told my cd friends: family first. When ones life is rich and full of family we have to give them a special love and never put anything in front of them. Some may have the luxury of a family that accepts our penchant to dress, but not many of us are willing to risk our loved ones to let it all out there to the public. You chose family, they will always love you for it. Best wishes.

Wow, you may stay in guy mode for a while, but with a house full of grandkids, it should be a fun Christmas at your house this year! You've said for some time that you had it all figured out, and balanced, I hope with the changes in your life, it doesn't throw tings out of balance for you, and you can make th best of having the family together. Also glad you are not leaving us.

Abigail, good luck at doing what you feel is right for you. Only you can make that decision. Don't forget, there are telephone booths everywhere so if you ever need to get changed..........
