    I am not exactly a newbie to the board anymore but I still feel I am a newbie to the world of being sexually fluid. I am a 36 year old married mother of two and for years I have struggled with feelings that I had for my childhood female best friend. We met when we were 14 and the confusion set in. Not to mention both her and I were raised in a Catholic environment and went to Catholic school our entire lives. I was lost in how I felt for her, ashamed and embarrassed. I felt I carried some sort of defect that causes me to feel the way I did. Therapy helps me come to terms with my feelings and the nature of my relationship. I began to accept I was not an alien and that I just loved another-pure and simple.

    I went online searching for support, guidance and answers. I found this website which has opened my eyes to so much. I have met people who truly have changed my life and made me feel comfortable being me and have helped me let go of some old Catholic guilt and smile because I am who I am and love how who I do.

    Because of you EC I have made connections who offer support and unconditional love. Because of you I have learned to be happy and proud to be me.

    Thank you for allowing a forum for such amazing support and connections :slight_smile: (&&&)

    That's really great to hear P25. To know that you have found a way forward through the fog and you are now happy and proud is wonderful. It's good to hear how EC played a part in all of that.. even more so on Coming Out Day. :slight_smile:
