    Hi everyone! I'm Paula and I'm from Ohio.

    My closet isn't quite empty yet but I'm working on it. I'm hoping this is a good place to get support.

    Let's see about me? Let's see. I'm a 39 year old mom of a 16 year old daughter. I'm in a great relationship with the woman who is perfect for me. We live almost 7 hours apart, but it's working so far.

    I'm out to a few people at work and most of my daughter's friends know. I don't have many friends where I live but have several friends where my partner lives. I want to come out to my parents, but haven't figured out how. I'm sure they know. I was in a relationship and lived with my previous partner for a long time. In fact she lives in my attic right now.

    I guess I have been thinking a lot more about coming out to my parents since my partners neighbor passed away last week and his partner was snubbed a little by the family. I want my family to know and accept things as they are. If I die before my partner I want her to have all say in everything that goes on. It's just so sad. I don't want to pretend that I'm not gay anymore.

    I just don't think I can tell my parents face to face.

    Hello, and welcome to EC!

    Now, if you had a daughter, did you ever have a husband? If you did, it sounds like you certainly don't have one right now. How did that work out? How has your daughter taken all of this?

    Hi Paula and (a belated) welcome to EC. :slight_smile:

    I'm sure you've already found a few friendly folks here (and there are a lot of them!)
