    I really need to talk to someone. I'm crying as I type...it's so hard to do this...I'm not a young man. I have a wonderful family, children, grandchildren...but I'm the opposite of a teenager coming out. I've hidden for over 50 years and I'm at the breaking point. I would never do anything to hurt my family...I love them, more than that I'm blessed by all that I have. Yet, there's another me out there who never had a chance to have a life. There's no way to change that now and if I tried I would hurt far too many that I love. But....if I could just talk to someone...say the things that I've kept hidden for so long. Just to hold another man's hand, even as a only friend would be a experience I've dreamed of for over 50 years. Please, someone, just talk to me...

    Hello and welcome to EC! (I love the username!)

    I think that you should feel safe and welcomed here at all means. How about try posting this in the section "General Advice" in the Support Area in order to receive more pertinent answers. We'd love to help you out here on EC, since we're a loving community whose sole purpose is to do that :slight_smile: Talk to me if you need help :slight_smile:

    you answered....you answered me. I've never reached out before and you answered...believe me this is no hoax or a joke. Even that little bit of a response...I've waited 50 years to receive. Sexual orientation completely aside, tonight you saved me...someone else knows and I am no longer alone. Thank you so very, very much
