Shayla,
I don't think my wife would be any happier if I had a drink problem instead , both our fathers were heavy drinkers so we both suffered first hand from the outcome .
On the point of the crossdressing label no one I've spoken to in the RW has called me a crossdresser or used the label , the transgender label is very much recognised now . It is odd that there are as many F/M TGs now but no one labels them crossdressers , apparently it's only men who do that .
Rachel,
It is sad to read you say that about not wishing it on your worse enemy , OK it wasn't my choice as it isn't for any of us but I'm far happier in the last year than I have been for years . Lack of acceptance can be a very cruel thing .
