Cross Dressers Wives April Newsletter 2011 Topic For The Month – WE’RE EXPECTING!!!

No April Foolin’!

I want to take this moment and thank every single cross dresser’s wife who has ever taken the time to post on our worldwide Forum. Your voices have been heard. You are no longer alone. Together, we all have built a safe haven for cross dressers’ wives around the world to anonymously gain and give support, learn the scientific research, and work through our deepest darkest pain without fear of judgment.

On Labor Day 2009, an idea sprouted organically from the Forum. On that day, our voices conceived a baby, an idea about sharing our stories. The gestation period has been prolonged, endured its share of obstacles and challenges, yet today, I am thrilled to announce

THE CROSS DRESSER’S WIFE – OUR SECRET LIVES

is in our third trimester! The baby has dropped and is in birthing position. With the recent submission of our manuscript to the publishers, the countdown has begun!

Never before has the subculture of cross dressing and the secret lives of their struggling wives/partners been so exposed! While Cross Dressers Wives remains respectful and supports the rights of cross dressers, transgenders, gays and lesbians, and all subjugated people everywhere, it is time we step out of our closets. Our issues remain largely unknown. Most of society does not even know that we exist because, most often, the cross dresser’s wife doesn’t tell. Until now.

Authors from our Forum who stepped forward to write their dramatic, shocking, and emotional stories should be congratulated. Though looking back and reliving the pain was not easy, it was a cathartic journey overall. Now, for the first time, it is our pleasure to announce the five Authors who contributed their stories to the upcoming bestseller The Cross Dresser’s Wife – Our Secret Lives:

1. The Queen Of Denial
by
Queen Of Denial

2. The Golden Nugget
by
Saddened

3. Gaslighting
by
Shelly

4. His Favorite Woman
by
Natalie

5. Mr. Wonderful
by
The Founder

Initial editorial feedback from professional authors, doctors, publicists, and editors familiar with the publishing world has been almost 100% through-the-roof positive. In fact, response has been so strong that we are already in the process of constructing Volume 2. PLEASE NOTE, we want to know about your journey. Any cross dresser’s wife interested in sharing her story, whether in the United States or abroad, should please contact the Founder @ cdwives@gmail.com. If possible, please denote ‘Book Volume 2’ in your subject line. Once accepted, you will be financially compensated for your story.

By busting the myths, dispelling the taboo, and telling the truth about how many relationships don’t work if a closeted cross dresser misrepresents himself and marries, I am expecting our book to be a golden force for positive change the world over!


Blessings and Untold Gratitude,
The Founder

Cross Dresser’s Wives March Newsletter 2011

Topic For The Month – Conquering Depression

We must learn to process trauma.  No one can do that but you.  If you don't, it WILL come back to bite you in the *ss.  Find a way, whether through therapy, counseling, a psychic, prayer, meditation, exercise, journaling, asking yourself questions no one else will ask, but never stop working on yourself.  Don't just say 'I'm going to let it go,' really process and work through your pain; call it emotional follow-through.  Find the faith, encourage peace and order within yourself; we must know our true emotions.  Clean out your emotional closets, take back your power!

So many posts of late mention the distress, depression, and darkness that confront the cross dresser's wife.  Everyone is different, but our quandary is uniquely labyrinthine.  Find support, be gentle and love yourself, and know that the journey can strengthen and empower you in ways you might never imagine.

May the angels be with us all.

With love, respect, gratitude and blessings,

The Founder
