have perhaps saved me a lot of mental anguish that nearly destroyed me. It's pretty hard, after all, to concentrate on organizing one's life, when each day brings a mental crisis.

Fortunately for me, three years ago, I married a lovely woman, who both knows about my femininity and actively relates to her sister - Stephanie.

Your comments about a type "A" wife going to a type "C" are extremely valid and that is why I have many more housedresses than cocktail gowns, only to me, I am so filled with the joy of being able to express my femininity, that I enjoy doing "feminine" things.

Love,

Stephanie
