Well dressing is fun but with troubles too. My ( former )m wife caught me then a transition started . But not the one your guessing ! First she went to my parents and told then , then her entire family . Of course she has to tell a few of her friends and mine . I come from a small town and of course that is big gossip news to spread , oh did it ! Then she filed for divorce I lost custody of my children , my house , car , 100's of thousands in savings . My stern advice seek help and have the balls to quit . I have now realize that wanting to dress is a curse that keeps haunting all of us, I have finally quit for over a year and a half .. only god can help me now and has ! Just ask !
Janis, this breaks my heart. Expressing your true self should never result in outcomes like this. In fact it sounds like an all out personal war focused against you and sounds like a total absence of love. I cannot fathom what goes through the mind of someone who sets themselves in such a mode of destruction.
Sometimes it truly is this difficult and sometimes it isn't. I don't know of any statistics on responses such as what happened withe your ex. I do know of one girl who is still struggling with legal issues from a battle with her ex, but she has an inspiration story of perseverance and resolve in righting the wrongs against our community and struggle of love to reconnect with her children.

My own story is one of a lot of struggle, a lot of swallowing of pride on both sides, but most importantly an expression of love from both of us as we strived to make the end of our marriage mutually the best for both of us and not destroy either of our relationships with our adult children. It started with 30 yrs of prayer and an answer only after I had finally prayed of my acceptance and presenting myself to Him such as I was. The journey since has been nothing short of amazing.
Janis..........I wish to express my sincere wishes that this had not happened to you. Obviously, your wife never really cared for you in the first place....very sad. She couldn't just walk away....no...she destroyed you. That was not cool. I wish you the best in recovering from this sabotage act and getting back to normal.....I do hope you have nothing to do with marriage again. Some do work out but the odds are very long. Good luck and if you wish to chat....my door is always open.
Hugs......
Dame Veronica
