I have been a guest and financial contributor to BC for quite a while and enjoy many of the great stories found here. After all the time I have been reading here, this is my first blog post. Something happened in my life recently that was so amazing I wish to give hope to others.

Just short of four years ago my spouse of 24 years and I decided that enough was enough. Many reasons contributed to this conclusion and for myself, I made the mistake of not sharing my private side with her before we married. She found out about three years in and took the attitude of 'don't want to see, don't want to know'. We made it through that difficult time but she never forgot. When we divorced, she stated she would keep my secret. Due to heavy alcoholic consumption by her, both of our children decided staying with me was the far better choice to gain a sense of peace in their life. I was overjoyed to have them and we have healed well in our time together since the split.

Jump forward to last Thursday. My youngest was visiting the former spouse and she was already in rare form by 6:00 pm. This child was begging her to please stop with her ways so she wouldn't turn away more family and friends and wind up in the grave before her time. Her epic response to our child was "Well Your Father's a Crossdresser". Up to this point due to life pressures, I was deeply closeted. Not any more. She was now broadcasting TWIMC.

My youngest returned and we had a long discussion with excellent questions asked and some stored information coming in handy. I also sat our older child down even though this one has no relationship with mom and came clean. To my utter amazement it was a total non-issue with either of them. As a matter of fact, I talked longer with both of them than I have in a long time about everything and we normally talk a lot with each other anyway. I was totally blown away and feel so grateful to have them in my life that words fail me.

If you are struggling with a similar situation, I only hope and pray it goes as well for you.
