Well, I came out to my husband about a week ago. That was interesting!!!
He said I had to call my 40's stepsons and tell them. So I did! Well, I e-mailed
one and the other I talked to on the phone. I was told that they were
going to have their entire church pray for me (for what? for being honest
and myself, the way I was born?). Then I felt like I was on a roll. Oh, my
sister's stepson (adult) found out, he told my sister and my sister said, "I
don't care if your are straight, gay or nothing! You're my sister!" Wow!
Then I thought, I'd go ahead and tell my brother who is in his 50's. He said
he was glad I told him and that he wished I had told him sooner, that I
can tell him anything and he still will love me just the way I am.
Wow. Now there are a few other relatives I am going to wait on. But it feels
like I have been released from prison. I thought everyone would hate me.
They don't. And I am feeling like I can finally be myself. But no more pretending. I can't explain the feelings I have, a mixture of
a little scared, yet at the same time, I feel like a big load has been lifted off of me.
