I could give you a long list of the many ways my wife has shown her generosity to me during the time we have been together. She has always allowed me to be the kind of person I want to be. I have very much appreciated that she is so excepting of my interest in Naturism. My only brother and my mother also have no problems with my enjoyment of the outdoors in my natural form. DCHS is the environment where I learned to love Naturism. At this point I have talked to the special people around me and they have offered that perhaps it is best to keep my participation with Naturist activites seperate from my children, at least while they are minors. When they are 18 they can decide for themselves. In this course I see a lot of lost opportunities to experience what I feel is a very rewarding experience. On the other hand I do not wish for my wife to be worried alot about one day coming home and finding a bad situation has developed related to my Naturist interest. I will be exploring the laws and realities surrounding this issue with the information all of you have supplied and in what ever other ways I can find. I want to become very familiar with what the law allows and how I can defend myself from any possible threats from organizations ( law enforcement, CPS ) or from any persons that may inadverdantly or purposely make a false accusation about my conduct, especially as it relates to my children. I don't know if I will gain enough information that would calm my wifes fears about the negative possibilities that could present themselves regarding Naturism and my two daughters. I feel that my suggestion that while with my children that I do the hike in and out with cloths on and just go clothing optional at the springs would work out just fine. I know alot of people down there and I don't feel a threat from the authorities that come in periodically to check the springs. I must consider the concerns of my wife, brother and mother also since they would be affected too if some situation was to occur regarding my Naturist interest and our kids. I will find out what I can and it will most likely take some time. Anyway thanks loads for all of your support, that really made my day to come home and read all of your post :-)
