Captain flying. VMC. Takeoff on Runway 28 with right steady crosswind.  [We were the] 3rd aircraft to takeoff of 28 while Runway 32L was also in use for takeoff-departure.  Normal takeoff roll.  On rotation at intersection of 28/32L; at 5-10 FT AGL; severe right crosswind gust.  No gusts reported in ATIS.  I suspect gust was from takeoff thrust of aircraft that was on 32L.  I noticed aircraft in position during my takeoff roll. I did not hear his takeoff clearance; suspect different frequencies (unsure).  While still flat at initial rotation at 5-10 FT; there was a noticeable and uncomfortable gust that I was able to control.  Gust/skid was uncomfortable & noticed by the First Officer; Pilot Monitoring.  Aircraft displacement off centerline (airborne) at time of event.  It felt like the aircraft was skidding right to left at 5 ft AGL.  It did not feel like a regular gust; and no other gusts were encountered on climbout.[I suggest] do not clear aircraft for takeoff from 32L while aircraft take off on 28.
A B737-800 took off on ORD Runway 28 and at rotation was displaced about 5 feet by the thrust of an aircraft taking off from Runway 32L.
