I am from Wisconsin. I like to crossdress, although I don't get to often. Ever since I was like 8, I have felt more feminine and such. I like women just fine, but I get more caught up wishing I was a woman instead of dating one. I have no clothes of my own. Although I have job and money, I am just too nervous to face a cashier at a store. I have not told anyone about my habit, although my mom found out. She hates the idea and threatens to tell my whole family and relatives if she ever catches me. Life is confusing and sometimes miserable, and I cannot let anyone know because my family would freak out.

Now about my family...

I lived on a farm in the country until I was 4 years old. My dad was an alcoholic, drank every night of his life, and even drank at work. We finally left, leaving dad and his beer behind. They divorced soon after, leaving my brother and I without a father figure in the house. We moved to a small town afterwards and lived in an apartment for 2 years. During this time, my mom met a guy named Chuck, who I do not like at all. Shortly after my mom met Chuck, I found out that my dad was in a horrible accident on his snowmobile. Beer and 120 miles per hour don't mix. He broke 8 ribs, punctured a lung, and half his brain was dead. 6 month coma, and he knew nothing. He didn't even remember how to swallow. He thought he was still with my mom, and was angry when told otherwise. After months of therapy, he finally started walking. Now, he lives by himself, has a job, and is now driving, after 10 years of waiting. We now live in the country again. My 17 year old brother smokes, drinks, and uses  drugs. Not a very good person. He's got a bad, bad temper, just like my father, and gets pissed at the smallest things. My stepdad is also an alcoholic, and has had his share of arguements with my mom, sometimes even getting violent. My whole household is just a hellhole and my family finding out about my CDing is going to tear my life to pieces. I feel like I'm the only one in the house who makes any sense.

Besides that, I think I'm a pretty nice person and I just need a place to come to. I need to talk to people who make sense and share some of the same thoughts as me. I've looked around the website and I really like it... I'll be coming here often.

Ya put your right foot in.  You put your right foot out.  You put your right foot in and you shake it all about.  You do the Andro-gyney and you turn yourself around.  That's what it's all about.

After so many wonderful greetings, I'm sure you can stand just one more. I'm maddy (madison), just another irregular character in the wonderful ongoing saga here at Susan's Place. You will find many friendly voices here that will hopefully bring you some much needed joy. Be happy, be strong, and be you. Welcome.

Greetings, Coldnight!

First, I've met two other people that I knew were from Wisconsin.  The first was in the Marine Corps.  My roommate was from Twin Cities, Minnesota.  The guy in the next room over was from Wisconsin.  My roommate called him 'cheese-eater' all the time (don't worry, they got along great!)  The second was a journalism instructor at the Defense Information School.  He was a Coast Guard JO1 who looked like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family TV show, barked and swore like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket, and knitted beautiful baby clothes while listening to his favorite baseball team via streaming internet.  He learned to knit because there's nothing to do on the farm during the winter in Wisconsin...

Now, I can relate a fair amount to your story, though I doubt I can match its -- intensity...  My (first) stepfather must have figured that his abusiveness towards me was justified in 'straightening me out' and 'making a man out of me'.  When he got drunk (which was often,) he could be very cruel.  I'll not steal your thunder, tho.  Here at Susan's, you'll find many people with similar experiences.  Knowing you're not the only one to go through a personal living hell may help you to cope.  Just remember -- YOU are okay...

Welcome!
I can understand and share pain with you!
My dad (dead now) was thankfully a passive alcoholic and my brother who is 36 is in jail right now a very mean dirty person when he drinks and that is his crucifix in life he's a violent alcoholic.......
My mom, me and my sisiter somehow surve all this but as others i here will agree we have our share of issues and challenges with our specific gender issues..
Welcome and i hope you find some time away from your household and some friends in here as well!

I should've added that my dad hasn't had a drink since his accident. He still has a hell of a temper though, that's just him.  ;D



By the way Ricki, that cake looks good.
