First if I posted this in the wrong section, I am sorry admins please me for me, Thanks
As everyone here knows I am a closeted crossdrsser, my wife and a select few know. I am truely just a guy who loves dressing as a woman but don't hate my manly body nor think I am a female in the wrong body. Although I have a dressed name my wife never refers to me as Sandy nor do I want her to...So my daughter who had confessed about being transgender since she was 15.. we always kinda avoided the situation thinking she had inherited my CD desires and was confused..fast forward to this weekend, she is now 18 and we found out she is using drugs and doing some dangerous behaviors so we confronted her and let's just say it went a billion times worse then I had imagined in my head to make a long story short by the end of Saturday night she had tried to commit suicide .... so we convinced her to go to the local ER and check yourself in into mental hospital they accepted her and are going to keep her for the next two weeks ...and family group last night she confronted us about being transgender and that she wants us to call her by her guy name and no longer her name...well as CD and a spouse who understands my hidden part of my life we can be extremely empathetic with her situation ... but in therapy last night my answer to call and her full-time by her male name was not received well by her therapist and definitely not by her .
My thoughts on the name why we find it important to maintain the name that we gave her, her name comes from my wife's great great grandmother that came here to America from Scotland and started my wife's family name in this country...we didn't choose a name because it was stylish or because it was pretty we chose the name Out of heritage...and as we explained this we were hit by major resistance...just curious what y'all think
and yes I have considered talking to her in private about my cross dressing but because she so in mature she would probably useit as a weapon against me to out me to everybody and so I won't share that part of me with her yet maybe one day when she's ready
