Help with Family

[Guest MeganBr]

I started CDing April 2011. Well, I started with UDing. I bought myself some panties for my birthday. I'm divorced and never really thought about CDing before. I now wear only women's panties, socks and jeans. I live in the south and come from a traditional southern family, where CD is strictly taboo. Wearing the cloths are not a sexual turn on for me. What can I say or do to help them understand that just because I wear women's cloths that that doesn't mean I'm gay? I don't know If this question is asked some where else or not. Any help in this matter would be great. As of now I have to tame it way down when I'm around my family, ie women's pants that are a size or 2 too big.

Welcome to the Playground, Megan. it's good to have you with us, and I think we can be helpful.

I guess I'll have to answer your question with a question: if you are divorced, and assuming you're not living with family, why would you need to tell anyone about your CDing?

But if you do need to explain to someone, there are books and articles about CDing that could be helpful. I'll look a couple up for you if someone else doesn't come along first with the info. That doesn't guarantee that family or friends would be willing to read the material, or would believe it if they did, but its worth a try.

You are welcome to post questions or comments in any of the forums, and we'll do our best to provide helpful answers. I do ask all our new members to please read the site Terms and Conditions, as they are important in keeping the site safe.

I live in the country. My family is close one. We all live real close together. And we see each other everyday. I can't wear what I want unless I stay at home or go to another town. I just want to be able to wear what I want all the time without being talked down to or to be ashamed of it. I know everyone will not accept it for what it is. But where I'm from and the way we are raised, we want the approval of our family. When I wear women's clothes I feel better about myself, more confident and not to mention I have a descend body for them. Thank you Carolyn Marie for want to help me. It's been 9 months that I have been doing this and never had anyone to talk to about it. And thank you to anyone else that reads and responds to this.

Gee Megan, its kind of hard to discuss someone else's family dynamics without knowing the folks involved. Southern Country Kin sounds pretty conservative, but there are people here at Laura's that have SCK's who have surprised them with the degree of acceptance so ya never know. If you want to be able to waltz around the back forty in a long flowing country girl dress,( and hey! really... who doesnt want to do that, ya know?), then you need to provide them with information they don't have. Kind of prime the pump, to use a country expression, or maybe plant some seeds? Personally, I LOVE to putter about with my plants on sunday mornings, kind of like in my avatar. Very peaceful and relaxing...simply carefree. Maybe others here can recommend some literature for you to provide them with.

Its good to have you in our little piece of the world
