So....just thought I'd say hello...I'm new at this forum stuff so please be patient!! I'm here to find my groove...I finally came out to everyone 2 years ago after suppressing myself all my life...I'm now 46...I have 3 grown up sons, an ex husband who I left in 2000...had a raft of unsuccessful attempts at straight hetro relationships then finally decided to face all my familiar thoughts about what lay underneath it all for me. I have a very successful business and have been very successful in my sport so am fairly well known and I guess I worried bout what people might think and if it would impact on my work...over time I explored my inner feelings and decided I couldn't hide anymore so I used excuse of a relationship with a girl to "come out"... Not as scarey as I thought...in fact a massive relief...no one judged me...it was a great feeling!! So here I am...tonnes of questions and still figuring out who I am....so thought this place a good start.... Thanks for reading my words!!
