Spousal
Support:
CDWSOS stands for CrossDressers' Wives and Significant Others Support.
This is a place for WOMEN who are in relationships with Crossdressers to come
and talk to other WOMEN. We are not professionals, just women who have a shoulder
to lean on and perhaps some experience, which you might find helpful in your
own journey. Our goal is to promote better understanding and coping skills to
improve relationships. This list is for GENETIC WOMEN ONLY. Our experience
is with crossdressing only.
Kathy Bower, Amanda Bower's wife is one of the moderators of this group. If
you are interested in joining this online support group, please send her an email
at cleopatra_31@ureach.com.
You do not have to be a member of Xpressions to have your significant other
join. For the protection of the current ladies on the list, we ask that your
significant other have her own email address and that it be different than yours.
