Transvestia along fine but as it the case with many FP's I found myself demanding more and more of my "brother's" time until the inevitable happened. Yes, my wife discovered one day that I was wearing an anklet which I thought was well hidden by my socks. I explained that I had found it. This explanation only lasted for a day or so as she brought the matter up again, and as it had my femme name on it, she demanded to know who the girl was. Well with my guts finally up, I proceeded to tell her about myself and with hardly any discussion she immediately left and filed for a divorce. I was so broken up I went to see a psychiatrist for help. I told him the whole story and he immediately put me at ease telling me that he saw nothing wrong with my TVism except in his personal opinion it was a waste of time but that it seemed for me it had been a good thing in that it had given me an outlet to express myself. He found that the breakdown in our marriage had been due to other causes and that this incident just brought it all to a head. So now I'm trying to pick up the pieces and make a new life for myself which I hope I can do. What does the future have in store? I don't know, only time will tell but I can't help but feel that things will be brighter. As I said before, through F.P.E. I've made many new friends and it has given Julie a chance to really express herself among others. I even had the fortunate opportunity a short while ago to meet and visit with our fabulous columnist Susanna. What a thrilling experience that was. Maybe if we all work together there will be a better understanding through- out this world of ours.

Well this is my story and after looking back over it, I guess it's not too different from those you've read before. At least you know that here is another who has travelled downthe same path.

Be sweet and may God be with all of you.

JULIE
