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.
well, congratulations! it's great that you could gather the strength to tell the people you love. And welcome to the forum btw.
