Dear Alicia,

After reading some  threads in a newer posts, I wanted to say that I absolutely agree with "you will never know what it feels like "just to be a kid"" very true words. Maybe, some get this but most just don’t see it. Even though someone has CAH they are still a child first. We are put into adult positions at such young ages, where did PARTS OF childhood go? Very mature, serious? What? You have to learn to ride a bike before you can drive the BMW.  

I only saw the RAVES as they were getting started. I was leaving the club at 4 A.M. and the kids were all lining up in their outfits (I really liked those outfits, very expressive)  ready to go in and have fun in their "fantasy land" Maybe, by going to Raves you just might find those parts of your childhood again. I know that for myself going out clubbing helped a great deal and it was lots of fun. It taught me responsibility too! I learned how to budget my money, the consequences of drinking to much : ) it was fun but I learned to slow down.

 You never stated anything about drinking and drugs. At least, I don’t think you did : ) I know that I had in the past (ha) I know many people with CAH that drink but I’m the one that was stupid enough to mention it  : ) Ambiguous genitals and excessive drinking tsk, tsk (hehehe). I thought it was classic and sweet how others posted about the dangers of that but I’ll tell you that there was more drugs and booze at house parties in affluent neighborhoods that I went to then at any club.

Take Care,

Aimee
