Hi EC. I've encountered technical difficulties, but I'm really hoping this is working now! I'm new, kinda shy, and and so happy to have found you. :icon_bigg
Thank you for the welcome! It's very nice to feel that I am in a safe place. I have so much to learn!
Welcome to EC. If you have any questions of just need someone to listen don't hesitate to ask. We are all here for you.
Welcome Gratitude. There's a LGBT later-in-life forum that's very helpful as well (I'm assuming you're'later in life' as you have kids). A lot of people who've only figured things out in their 20's; 30's and beyond in there. FoxSong just saw your age is actually on your profile
Thanks, FoxSong! Yes, there seems to be something for everyone, and I am really impressed! And yes, being an older generation, as well as living in a small, "antiquated?" community, I am somewhat reclusive and out of the loop. My daughter suggested I try to find an online community to try to meet more like-minded people, and I am so blessed to have her support! I'm presently studying my butt off, to get certifications I need for a career upgrade, and hope once that is done I'll be able to spend more time here. So nice to meet you, thank you! I have loads of questions, BTW, and can't wait for my brain to have the energy to figure out how best to express them! Lol....I have realized that, after a lot of years trying to stay safe in my communication with others, I now find myself a little paralyzed....guess I just need some time to let it sink in, that I'm "allowed" to express my truth here! It's awesome.
