She couldn't and wouldn't try to understand my "per- version" as she called it, hence it was automatically wrong and sinful. Beer was forbidden in the home, even our sex life together soon stopped being fun and became, instead, a scheduled thing. She waged her psychological warfare to the end of complete and total abstinence of all sexual contact, but we did manage to produce two wonderful normal children, although she didn't want the second one, she even talked to a female psychiatrist, ( who turned out to be a very frustrated spinster.) This old gal advised an abortion, based on my wife's description of my "abnormalities" which probably would "taint" the new baby. Of course our first born, a boy, was already seven years old and as normal as apple pie. Anyway, I said "Nothing doing! Everything will proceed on schedule." Which it did. Today, those two kids are wonderful. The boy married and has two wonderful children, while the girl is a medical technician in a big hospital, very busy with her work and fighting off the boys. (Doctors and interns.) They both know all about me and my love for dressing. My daughters views are somewhat mixed due to her Mother's giving her a perverted sense of values and religious bigotry. She has seen some of my photographs while dressed never in person. On the other hand, my son frequently visits with me in my home. Appropriately dressed, even to make up and jewelry, I cook delicious meals for us, sit around and talk, we watch television or read. He very openly says that I am not hurting anyone including myself, and that it would be a shame to waste my talents by not dressing up when I make such a darn nice looking woman, and enjoy it so very much.

Finally, after 29 years of married life, my wife walk- ed out on me, just two and half years ago. Apparently, (unbeknownst to me) she talked over the problem at great length with all the old lady deaconesses at the church, plus the preacher, the welfare worker down- town, and the fat lady down the block. I guess their recommendations to her were- leave him," which she did!!!
