Reply To: Hi im 55 married 2 kids no one knows i feel alone

[Elayne Edwards]

As a life long CD only my wife knew.  I lost her to cancer in 1996  that left me alone with two daughters  age 17 and age 13.  So there I was, after a 19 year marriage with only my wife knowing suddenly a single father.  The closet became my very best friend.  Kept all my femme things hidden. Got a storage unit to store them in . Whenever the daughters were gone I would dress and be Elayne instead of Ted.  It was a challenging time for sure.  BUT  YOU are your own best friend .  !!  Believe in yourself.  After the girls went off to college and i was now on my own i was free to be me.  Moved to another location and for many years lived a single life and dressed and dated when and where I could. But remember this  to thine own self be true. .  The secrete is hard to keep but you can do it .  i have always said i was strong enough for TWO PEOPLE  Ted and Elayne..
