Title: sorry for not intrducing myself
Post by: Aaron on February 18, 2009, 10:16:39 PM
hello evryone,
my name is Aaron, 38 ,live in new jersy, but from a small town in Va. i love the city, seems like a brand new world , but love the country too. im easy going person who is content with the small things, grateful for what i have.
iv been married twice and have 7 beautiful daughters,im also recovering alcoholic who has had prtty hard time with this addiction, my last struggle with this almost cost me my life. i think maybe has been a simple solution to not coming to terms with my inner struggle, if that makes sense. hope  this is not to much for an intro, but would like to think that this is a place where i have no secrtets,and can be open and honest about how iv come to dealing with issues that are to overwhelming.
i am a hard worker who has always taken care of my responsibilities to my children and ex- wives ( just to let ya know exs were aware of my inner feelings of being trans)my children are not aware of this and that will be the way that stays until the time comes ,if that time comes at all.
im very glad for this site, it has answered alot of my questions and made me ask myself alot of questions too.
there is alot here i just never new , now alot of the pieces of the puzzle that were missing make sense , no more " whats wrong with me " or " evrybd must be right, i am wierd" almost to the point of despair.i dont uderstand it all but glad to be among friends who know where im at and have been where iv been. from 6yrs to 7yrs old until now has been long time , doesnt really matter how i got here ,im here , and has been very freeing . im sure ill get a chance to talk more and let you know more about me and whats going on in my life .
i have managed to find a  group that offers the counselling and support that i was looking for right around the corner , and also a place for my first makeover ( very excited about this )
wish evryone well
Aaron

Hi Aaron and welcome

Seven daughters? Wow, that must be a handful and a half  :laugh:

I'm a recovering alchi also. It is something of a struggle to deal with. Best off to leave it behind.

It's amazing all the dif. puzzles that life gives us. You found a very supportive place to help desifer those puzzles

Enjoy the make over  ^-^

Hi Aaron ,   :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 1800 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another sister.   :icon_hug:

Makeovers do wonders for the ego.

Janet

Welcome Aaron, 7 huh, I thought 3 sons and 3 daughters was bad enough, lol, wait til you have the 12 grandchildren or more HEHE. Just kidding Hon. You sound a lot like myself a few years back. (well maybe more than a few) The multiple mariages, alcoholism and lifes way of throwing other things at you. Its good that you have joined us and that you are finding your self. There are lots of resources and others that are more than willing to help here at Susans.
Hugs

Wendy
