My CDing days are over.

[Alice Torn]

At 68yo, I purged all my clothing designed for women a over a month ago. I did keep some pantyhose for wintertime to wear under pants. I have mental and emotional and social health issues and a few physical issues, and for me, i needed to change myself if i ever want a relationship with a woman in my old age, too. And, also, the very sobering, serious dangerous times we are entering, where surviving is the issue. I thank all of you, who have ben supportive of me, in all my troubles and issues. I know that every person, CD or non CD, has own issues and experiences and pain and joy in life. And at different levels of personal change and growth. And different personalities and brains, and bodies. And very different situations in life. Each human CD, or not is a unique individual. The world is entering a very difficult time now. Take care of yourselves, your families, and your pets.

Sorry to hear about this. Looks like you have been a very long term member.

I am no expert, being a new member, so will not attempt to give you any advice, but I understand and wish you the very, very best in the future.

Take care.

Hi Alice,

I wish you the best.

I've come the opposite conclusion with my own situation.
Wearing female clothes gives me the best opportunity for meeting someone; what you see is what you get!
When you are as short as I am dating sites are useless as a guy.

Alice, good luck on the rest of your journey through life, we all have far too few days to do the things we most want to do and often look back and wonder how it went so fast.

[Amy Lynn3]

Alice, we all hate that you must deal with the issues life hands each one of us, but may I suggest you still remain a member here. It would be nice to hear from you as you change the course of your life and being a member here would be a good way to keep up with old friends. If and when you find that special someone, we would love to hear about her.

Do take care of yourself, Alice.

Best wishes to you Alice on this new phase and life journey!

[Tracy Irving]

It is important to take care of yourself first. I wish you the best of luck moving forward.

[Debbie Denier]

All the best Alice. I thought it was over when I became a father . It came back big time. I feel you have made your decision. I hope whatever path that you take that you find true happiness.

[Marcia Blue]

Take care of yourself, Alice.

Alice..... You sound so depressed, don't give up... Not sure I would have purged, you never know what tomorrow will hold.
And at our age, tomorrow is always a gift........
As we all age life many times becomes more difficult. Our health tends to decline, friends start to die off etc......
Trying to find a companion while going through health issues is a extremely difficult thing to pull off.
Tell you all a short story: Nothing CD related, Old friend had a Uncle that had a health scare, spent some time in a facility recovering.
While their he met the love of his life............... Ended up getting married, then passed a few years later.
His children had to get the Sheriff to evict her from their fathers home.
As it turned out, this was the third time this lady married some one from the care facility.
She knew all the laws relating to inheritance and made the family go through hell dealing with her.
Sometimes a good friend is better than a married partner........
At least no lawyer YET has tried to sue over the family dog not getting their share of what little is left to fight over......
Try to keep your spirits up, and hopefully you will find some companionship to easy you through what is yet to come.
We all will eventually go down this road, and it is sad that society hasn't come up with ways to lesson the problems for all those involved.

PS: docrobbysherry I love your response, we all could go forward with that thought.

Hi Alice, I guess the objective we all pursue is happiness, hope you find it in whatever form it presents! Wish you all the best!

[SaraLin]

I wish you the best of luck on your new journey in life. May it go surprisingly well.

But remember, if you ever need to stop by and visit - we'll leave a light on.

[CDSophie62]

Good luck Alice
Especially in finding a new relationship.
I think I might make the same choice if I ever had to choose
between CD?ing & being in a relationship.

Who knows , you might find that special someone who will accept your CD?ing.

Good luck Alice.

[Lana Mae]

Best wishes for your happiness! Keep us aware of your success in finding a loved one! I for one will miss you! Hugs Lana Mae

I've read your posts over the years and have read a life of pain and toxic relationships. I hope you're able to find a happy relationship. I'm a decade older than you and have a wife, kids and grandkids. I think as a person ages, they realize they do not want to die alone. They want to experience what may have been denied in the past. I hope you're able to find the happiness once denied. Drop in sometime. I don't know if there is a term like a "recovering cross dresser." But,let us know how you're doing.

[Giselle(Oshawa)]

Best of luck Alice and may peace be with you

[Erin Lafleur]

Take care and be well Alice. May much happiness be in store for you!

[Mackem Sue]

See you in a few months.

[Geena75]

What a tough choice! But then, life is full of tough decisions and it is our ability to make them and follow through that makes us stronger. Wish you success and all the best.

P.S. Let me know how it works out for you. I may want to do the same some day.

[Crissy 107]

Good luck Alice! I wish you the best plus, come back anytime!

[Karren H]

I totally relate to that, Alice. Been thinking of giving up a lot of things lately. Not crossdressing. Not yet. Been doing a lot of downsizing, making arrangements and just getting things in order. Life is short. You have to do what you must to be happiest. Good luck!

[Pumped]

Best wishes, but once in a while please stop in and say hi and let up know how you are doing.

[Maria 60]

Take care Aliice and hope you find the happiness you deserve and I hope you do drop by now and then to let us know how your doing.
