Hello I thought it was time to introduce myself, I am registered here as Anna but I prefer to go by Beri,
I have visited the chat room here at Susan's a few times and found the people here to be very kind, freindly and helpful, in general wonderful people.
I would like to tell you a little bit about myself, I am 49 years old and have been a cross dresser since i was about five years old. When I was about five I started to notice my strong feminine side. I started to borrow panties, bras and whatever else I could get my hands on and dress myself up to look pretty at least in my eyes I appeared pretty.
Unfortunately for me my parents caught me playing dress up at about that time and they decided they could cure me by the use of sever punishment and public humiliation. They took me around to all of my Uncles and Aunts houses and families and proceded to tell them all about what they had caught me doing and also that they thought I must be queer. This was quit a tramatic lesson in life at a very early age, however it did teach me to be very wary of people in general.
I kept my cross dressing to a very careful minimum until I was able to leave home and live on my own.
My parents still never talk about the way I was but I am still very tempted to tell them that they actually did not cure me. Still a few issues to work out there.
I am married to the most wonderful woman in the world who knows all about my cross dresing. She is very understanding and for the most part supportive.
Both my wife and myself have never talked to anyone outside of each other about myself.
So when I found Susan's chat room a few month back and was able to talk to you good people openly and honestly it was like the weight of the world had been removed from my shoulders.
I am trying to encourage my wife to come to the SO chat room and chat to other people too I think it would be very good for her to finally have some other people she could openly talk to about our lives.
