My name is Donni,
and i am addicted to Love.....

it is the CDing husband's responsibility to educate his wife.
Being a cder in a marriage (10years in Dec.!) where i have been open about my gender expression (even though i did not really understand being TG then) i have come to understand that i have become -dependent- on my spouses love for me....the WHOLE ME. The only way i was able to become educated about Transgenderism was by working all these things out for myself, 8 years ago i had no education about who i really was inside i just knew i was different. So i started educating myself not really knowing where to start, except i knew that this was something i could not do without her love. My honesty to her early in our life together is what educated us both over time.

This thread talks about being addicted to CDing as in having a dependency...then uses street drug/financial analogies to back a terrible definition of addiction. Im not ok with this.
If one were to use the terms addicted and crossdressing it should be at least done in such a way that does not make us appear to be the dirge of society.......street drug users and financial abusers make an active mental -choice- when they exercise their -dependencies-....... Crossdressers who are TG are born with the needs we have there is no addiction in that.

The addiction comes from irresponsibility, dishonesty, and denial........and not on the -dependency- of your needs as a crossdresser...

Slightly Annoyed,
-Donni-
