    Hey guys, I'm new to this site today actually, I'm so far in the closet that it ligit seems as if I'll always be there. Afraid of how my family members will react. Most of my friends including my son wouldn't care. I don't know what to do. I'm 44 and unhappy/pissed off. I'd take advice from anyone .:bang:

    Try bringing up the topic of homosexuality nonchalantly like what they feel about same sex marriage and stuff like that :slight_smile: Observe their reactions carefully and hopefully based on that you may feel confident enough to come out to them. Best of luck hun !!

    Hello and welcome to the forum! :slight_smile: Feel free to start a thread in the support sections of the forum, for specific advice! I'd recommend the Later In Life support forum - I appreciate 44 isn't that late in life, but there's usually some good advice there for dealing with family issues.

    Just remember..... you know that you are gay and that is a HUGE thing!!!
    Give yourself credit for coming out to yourself.
    From a former long-term resident of Narnia, it is possible to make that journey into the light. The journey is worth it and the guys here will offer advice and consolation along the way.
    Welcome to this rainbow world. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    Welcome! This is a good first step. This was the first site I had been honest about my personal life.

    Hey welcome! This is a great place to get started. I`m not out yet either, except to myself. I`m in your general age range. I can tell that the site has a lot good resources in the advice on coming out section as well as a lot good people willing to offer support and advice. I hope you find it. I`m looking towards coming out soon at some point when I`m ready.
