Hi,  I am so very thankful for this site, and I am happy to be here.  My story started when I was 8 years old.  My older sister had runaway from home, and when we knew she was going to stay with family I moved into her room.

She had left a large amount of clothes behind and I started experimenting with them and really enjoyed how it made me feel.  A couple of months later my mom went into the hospital and some “family friends” stayed with my brother and I.

This turned into a foster care situation and those “friends” were named as temporary guardians.  The male guardian had raped me on multiple occasions until I was moved into a foster home.

Fast forward to 2019 and all of the trauma and confusion led me to the brink of suicide.  I was hospitalized for 7 weeks and started the process of learning about my true self, not the shell of the person I was.

2 years ago I got my first kilt and that woke up something in me going back to when I was 8.  That feeling I got was was electric and next thing I know, I am in thrift stores buying dresses and skirts.  

I am separated from my wife and I will be getting my own place soon, and so look forward to being able to dress everyday.  It’s nice to meet you.

Hi Indi

Welcome to CDH 🙂

I'm so, so sorry to hear about everything that has happened to you. Hopefully, from all you've said, things are improving for you now.

You'll find that this is a very warm, safe and supportive place. Everyone here talks openly about their experiences and we're always here for each other.

I'm trans, and single, so I AM able to dress every day. It's good that you have that to look forward to; I can assure you that it's even better when you get there. And, coincidentally, I was in and out of several charity shops looking for dresses and skirts only yesterday 🙂 I didn't actually find anything, but hey ... it was fun trying.

There's lots to explore on the site. Enjoy looking around, and if you need help with anything just ask.

Ellie x

Hi, Indi, I can only begin to imagine what you've gone through but you've made a good decision to join this wonderful community where you can share as much as you wish in safety.

You'll find everyone here is genuinely caring and helpful, I've never experienced anything like it and it has changed my life being able to share with others. Over 50 years I kept my crossdressing secret, only telling my wife in the latter half of our marriage. 

Welcome to the family!

Allie

Hi Indi.

Welcome to CDH. A very understanding, supportive and friendly community. 

I hate that people, especially children, have to suffer these abuses. And even more so if it is because they are different. Always remember that you are a beautiful person and the world needs you. You have found a new good family here.
