Hey everyone. My name is Katie I am 28 and from Arizona! In the last 5 months my life has totally flipped upside down... I met a woman who I have fallen in love with. Up to this point in my life I had only dated men. Thinking it was the right thing to do. I was never happy or satisfied and I knew deep down I was only interested in woman but was too afraid I admit it to myself because I knew my family would never understand. When I met my girlfriend everything changed... I came out little by little to my friends and they all understood and just want to finally see me happy... A couple days ago I came out to my mom. She seemed to be ok at first. Of course there were tears involved but she said she loved me regardless. Well it took a turn last night when she told me that she didn't want to talk to me about my recent news because she is hopin it will just go away... I laughed and said... Ok mom... It won't just go away but whatever you think... Then I lost it later... My girlfriend is super supportive but she has never had to deal with coming out like I am and I need some support and just a group where I feel comfortable opening up... It helps to hear other people's stories. I know it won't be an easy road but I'm willing to fight for what's right and what makes me happy... Love is love period... That's just a little bit of what's going on.... Just struggling which I am guessing is only the beginning??
