Through the 1980s I really struggled there are six years in there that I go over in the book they were probably the worst years of my life. I basically stayed in my house for six years I didn t fit in anywhere. I didn t belong anywhere Caitlyn who is releasing her memoir The Secrets Of My Life said on the TV show Lorraine.

I thought that I was going to transition before I was 40. I got to 39 and couldn t go further you know it wasn t time.

Three or four months later Kris! I was open with her now did I downplay it some. I m sure I did. Because I had gone through hell for six years. I loved her ... of course she was aware. I thought we could deal she said.
