Hello. I am divorced for many years with two kids and have only dated men until about five months ago. Although we had worked together for several years we hadn't really talked much and had never seen each other outside of work, it became very obvious that we were very interested in each other. Anyway, long story short, I'm dealing with my kids knowing about my relationship with this woman, who is very out and comfortable with who she is having come out many years ago. My kids are pretty torn up about it, and my daughter is having a lot of anger and does not really want anything to do with me. I'm not comfortable telling my kids I'm a lesbian, because I don't think I am. I really believe that if this doesn't work out, I will probably date men. That being said, I am crazy about this woman and believe we have a future together. I just don't want my kids to think this is a choice for me, because really it's not. Anyway, still struggling with the family, still struggling with a label, but interested to see what I can find on here that will help me deal with all of this.
Welcome to the community. It's certainly better to explore what's right in front of you rather than always wondering "what if?"!
