Not a popular thing to do but I purged!

Good luck, Emmi. Sometimes I wish I could purge too.

Wow! I am very appreciative of all your good wishes and your insight. You are all special and I admire you all and thank you for reaching out. I do admit that I do have a fondness for crossdressing and I know I am a crossdresser and even if I rid myself of the clothes I am still me and I will probabaly still have that desire to dress.

After all I gravitated to crossdressing at the tender age of 5 and it has been a part of my life ever since.

I have done a lot of soul searching and I am with mixed feelings but the fact of the matter is I have a child who to me means more to me than anything else and I am at a crossroads in my life because of the severity of my child's needs.

My son is autistic and has epilepsy and he has so many struggles and my heart aches for him as he has difficulties with socializing.

He alienates himself from other children and he has difficulties fitting in.

My wife and I need to get him on the right path and I need to be his biggest advocate and must channel all my energies to helping him be all he can be and most of all to help him smile and be a happy child.

Autism is so hard to understand and it is so frustrating to see how it affects your child in ways.

I am trying to learn all I can about Autism and how I can help my son deal with it so he can have a productive life.

What I want most for my son is for him to be a kid, make friends do well in school and most of all I want him to be happy!

Thanks again for your sincerity and good wishes!

Probably you are not doing it for to long, otherwise you would have realized that's futile.
Many years ago I purged several times. After that I understood that it's just a source of future expenses for replacements.

The measure of a person is determined by the quantity and quality of his dedication and love. I'd say you measure up very well my friend and I salute you.:happy:

Autism in a child can be very trying at times so I can understand your need o purge from that respect. But couldn't you still keep a box in the garage or attic or somewhere else? Everytime I purged in the past, the urge always came back stronger and I wish I had saved everything.
You have my best wishes for happiness.

I understand this one because I have purged so many times. What a waste of money. It makes me sick of what I gave up. And did I stop dressing? Ah no.

Hugs,

Amanda
