Hi everyone. I was searching the web for help and came across this site. I'm a 39 year old divorced gay father of two pre-teen children. My kids, brothers, and ex wife all know I'm gay and are completely supportive. The problem seems to be that I have spent so much of my life repressing my desires and hating myself that I've become completely isolated. I don't know what to do. I'm depressed most of the time. I can't seem to let people in because I have spent my life only revealing small parts of who I am. I'm just so tired. Tired and scared that life is passing by so quickly and I still feel like I need to be ashamed.
Hi Sjrain, first off welcome! Secondly, hang in there. Many people go thru stages of isolation. Myself included. After my divorce U found myself lost and alone. I started going to a local bookstore, coffee houses, a few clubs just to get out of my box. I'm not sure what type of community you live in, but those may be some options. I went about 20 miles outside of my community. And it did help a lot. Lots of luck to you!! And definitely many good ppl here to help and listen. Welcome again!
Hi and welcome!! I hope you find the support and answers you are looking for here! You sound like a wonderful person and its great to hear your family is supportive! (Many aren't) I for one feel its never too late for change and sincerely wish you the best!
