Hello all you lovely people,

I hope life is well with you.

How can we help those who have'nt come out from out of the closet.
I feel a little guilty when many of my postings are in reference to those who have spouses and are lucky enough to come out to someone.
I would like to see those who have'nt told anyone,expressing their femme and her emotions more,thus they are acknowleding their femme.

On our forum I was saddened by the words of a member who is well and truly in the closet and who some time ago purged on her clothes,she now feels alone and saddened.I actually felt she was grieving the loss of a loved one.

To all the members in the dark of the closet,is that how you feel,and how can we help.

Well 3 days out of the closet. Was way deep in there. I don't feel qualified to give advice yet to thoses that are married. I will say if you are starteing a relationship and don't tell up-front YOU WILL REGET IT!! It is like a deliquet bill, put it off and it only gets harder to pay.

One can only help those who want help.

In other words, we can only answer those questions that are asked, and at times provide encouragement with regard to steps being taken to leave the closet.

The trick is not to be preachy and not to goad someone into doing something they aren't ready for.
