What advice would you give a YOUNGER crossdresser

Here is the story of a Crossdresser I’m accostumed to hearing:

– A young boy starts experimenting wearing women’s clothing at a young age

– Shame starts to creep in shortly after

– The boy suppresses the desire to dress for years.

– Boy, now a man, gets married and has kids

– After many years of suppressing the desire to dress the man dresses again in secret.

– Shame creeps in again

– Man purges all crossdressing items in the hopes the feeling to dress will go away

– Feelings to dress in women’s clothing still persists even after many years.

– Finally man decides to dress again, maybe even go out in femme, maybe even kiss and/or have sexual encounters with another crossdresser or man without the wife and kids having a clue of this “secret life”

– Wife finds out about husband’s crossdressing and the fact that he has lied to her in the past in order to cover up his “secret life.”

– Wife feels betrayed demands a divorce and threatens to take the kids with her

It’s true we can’t change the past but if you’re an OLDER crossdresser, what advice would you give a YOUNGER crossdresser so they don’t go through the struggles you went through?
